It was for this dessert that I used the toppers Sarah (Aspire to Be) sent us. This made the dipping part so much easier and it really dressed up the truffles and added a nice visual touch to the dessert table.
Easy Oreo Truffles
Source: Kraft Recipes
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (16.6 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 4-1/4 cups), divided
2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
Mix cream cheese and 3 cups cookie crumbs until well blended.
Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
Notes:
- I mixed ALL the crumbs with the cream cheese and topped my truffles with pink edible balls.
- I used about 5 oz of chocolate total for the dipping. When I made this in the past the chocolate was really hard to work with because it was very thick so this time around I made it more like a ganache by melting the chocolate with 2 Tbsp of butter and about a Tbsp of heavy cream. This made the chocolate a million times easier to work with and it helped the truffles get a more smooth and even coating.

I believe a glass of milk is in order with these truffles. ;)
Love how you decorated them!
I was first introduced to oreo truffles at a work party and I think it was that day I realized my life was finally complete. They are SOO good. The decorations and the little flags are adorable! So glad you had a great time and the food sounds like it was fabulous!
