Hello! I figured I just had to end this weeks blog post with something so scrumptious and sweet you would have to make the treat. Yup, these truffles are made from 3 ingredients. Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate. The truffle itself is made from crushed oreos and cream cheese, then dipped in semi-sweet chocolate. You have no idea how easy this is! For the finishing touch, you can add crushed oreo crumbs (or as I added, pretzels). Since we're nearing Christmas, powdered candy canes would make the truffles very festive.
I've added a step-by-step slideshow because it was fun to do so.
Eat up!
