Oreo Truffles

These are So So YUMMY and moist! Adam brought home one today for me and I had to find a recipe for these amazing little bites of joy. So we are actually making them right now and we are just chilling the oreo stuff for a little while.

I am going to make these for St. Patrick's day and use the green mint Oreos and then dye the white chocolate green so that it will be the perfect St. Patty's day treat of gift to give to neighbors or anyone else. These are seriously worth trying.

Oreo Truffles

1 bag Oreo Cookies, ground up in blender or food processor
1 8oz. packages of cream cheese, softened

2 cups white chocolate chips or 1 package Almond Bark (white chocolate candy coating)

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or 1 square of the Chocolate Bark for drizzling

1. Combine ground Oreos and cream cheese in mixer using paddle attachment until well mixed. Roll into 1 inch balls and place onto baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate overnight or until very firm. I did it for 45 min and it was okay.

2. Melt white chocolate in microwave for 1-2 minutes on 70% power. Using 2 little spoons, dip balls into chocolate and place onto parchment paper to harden. Once dry, melt dark chocolate and spoon into the corner of a ziplock baggie. Snip a small corner and drizzle back and forth over the truffles. Let dry.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

This was kind of our dessert for last night and it seemed like a romantic little snack that we could enjoy. I just found a simple, basic recipe for it and it really was yummy. But you can never go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
About 20 strawberries with stems

Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)

Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.

Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

(I put the strawberries in the fridge)
