This weekend, my older sister decided to host a small and intimate gathering consisting of her friends and our family. As our topic of this blog is desserts, I decided to share what one of the desserts she made for the event. Oreo truffles.

So these little suckers are so full of flavor it's almost impossible to just eat one. They tend to be rather rich though, so make sure you have a glass of milk ready. Surprisingly they were super easy to make. She got the recipe from this cookbook she bought from Costco. The cookbook is called In the Kitchen the Costco Way. That little cookbook is filled with all kinds of goodies that use Costco products.

Ingredients:

1 18-ounce package of Oreo cookies, finely crushed and divided

8 ounces of Philadelphia cream cheese, softened

2 8-ounce packages of semisweet baking chocolate, melted

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper
2. Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until it's well blended
3. Shape the mixture into 42 one-inch balls
4. Dip the balls in the melted chocolate and place on the baking sheet
5. Sprinkle with the remaining cookie crumbs.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm.

It makes about 42 wonderful little bite size truffles. It's super easy to make, but you have to be willing to get your hands dirty. Buy the Costco cookbook for more goodies because everything that we've made so far from that book, not just desserts, has been amazing and full of flavor!

Until next time!
