Oreo Truffles

And I am back in business!  I know I say this every time I start writing on this blog again, but this time I mean it.  Since becoming a mom, my time is more occupied with Zara and working one day a week.  However, I realized how much more important it is for me to come up with activities like cooking to make my day more exciting.  Don't get me wrong, I love being home with Zara, however, not every minute, hour, or day is exciting.  

I have many recipes to post, but I often forget to take pictures.  And since we all know there is nothing worse than a recipe without a pictures, I shall wait to post until I take more pictures. I better get cooking this week!  

Here is a fun dessert we made the other night.  I have to admit, all these recipes are copied from someone else.  I am not a great inventor when it comes to cooking, but I am so glad so many people out there are so I can copy them. 

These are super easy and quite delicious. 

1 (16 ounce) pakcage Oreo cookies, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (I used light)
2 (8 ounce) packages bakers semi-sweet chocolate, melted (we used just chocolate chips)

 1. Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs; reserve for later use.  Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
