RIDICULOUSLY EASY MINT OREO TRUFFLES

Ingredients

• 1 pkg (1 Lb. 2 oz) Mint Oreo Cookies
• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 Lbs. milk chocolate (you can use 3-4 (7oz) bricks of Hershey's chocolate or you can get fancy chocolate from a candy store... I just used Hershey's chocolate to dip these ones and they turned out great)
• 4 oz. white chocolate bark (optional for decorating)

Instructions

• Crush cookies until crumbs in food processor. Place crumbs to medium-sized bowl, add softened cream cheese and mix by hand until blended. Roll into 1/2" to 1" balls (I used a little melon-baller). Place on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper and freeze for at least 3 hours.
• Break chocolate into pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time at 30-40% power, stirring each time. When chocolate is melted, remove chocolate balls from freezer and dip into the chocolate using a plastic fork with the center prongs broken off (see pic below). Place dipped chocolates back on the wax paper and refrigerate until chocolate is set. If you are not eating immediately, place chocolates in an airtight container lined with wax paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Optional: to decorate, melt white chocolate just as you did the milk chocolate above. Place melted chocolate in a small Ziploc bag and cut off the very bottom tip of the bag (make a VERY tiny cut). Gently press chocolate through the hole to create lines or designs over the chocolate truffles.
