:) Hi, I am making the Ham and Cheddar Snack squares this week but need another dessert that can be put together while the squares are baking. I am tired of Taffy Apple and Banana Toffee so any other ideas would be so appreciated!:D My brain seems to be on sleep mode today. Thanks guys!

Try those oreo truffles everone is RAVING about!

Here is the receipe:

Oreo Truffles
White Chocolate Baking Bark, Baking Squares or White Chocolate Chips
(1 – 2 teaspoons of solid vegetable shortening, such as Crisco, as needed to make it smooth)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. Oreo Cookies
Chocolate chips or Chocolate Baking Bark (for drizzle)

Melt white chocolate in double boiler. Add solid vegetable shortening, ½ teaspoon at a time as needed to make the mixture smooth. (Do not add liquid oil or water to chocolate or it will clump.) Chop the entire package of Oreo cookies with a food chopper. Mix with cream cheese. Scoop out balls of mixture using a small scoop. Place in freezer for 15 minutes to set. Dip in melted chocolate, one at a time, and place on parchment paper or wax paper until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

For drizzle: Melt dark chocolate and place in a frosting bag. With fine opening, drizzle dark chocolate over "set" white oreo truffles. Return to refrigerator to set.

Variation: Use Mint Oreo cookies and add 1 drop of green food coloring to the white chocolate for Mint Oreo Truffle Balls. You can also drizzle some dark chocolate over them to make creative designs.
