Almond Oreo Truffles Balls And Other Flavors Recipes

Steps:

• Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder.
• With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and almond extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).
• Use the large side of a melon baller to create ¾ inch balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
• Follow directions on the Baker's Dipping Chocolate to melt the milk chocolate.
• Dip balls and coat thoroughly.
• Gently place a fork underneath the coated ball to lift it out of chocolate; letting the excess chocolate drip off.
• Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
• Follow the directions on the Baker's White chocolate box to melt it.
• Place melted white chocolate in a small plastic baggy and cut a tiny hole in a corner. Use as a pastry bag. (Or you can purchase plastic bottles with small tips designed for creating candies).
• Using the bag or bottle, drizzle the white chocolate over each truffle.
• Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to let the chocolate set.
• *Instead of the white chocolate embellishment, you can top with ground toasted almonds.
• **Do not substitute chips for either the milk or white chocolate. They will not create a smooth exterior on your truffle! You can substitute premium baking chocolate for the dipping chocolate if you prefer.
• ***You can change these up by substituting different flavors of extract: use peppermint and top with crushed peppermint candies, use cherry and top with pink tinted white chocolate, substitute ½ t. strong coffee and top with crushed hazelnut, or substitute vanilla. Your options are endless!

Steps:

• Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together.
• Roll into walnut size balls.
• Chill for an hour.
• Melt approximately 3/4 package of white almond bark.
• Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white almond bark.
• Allow to harden on wax paper.
• Takes about 15 minute.
• While waiting, melt about 1/4 package of chocolate almond bark.
• When Oreo balls are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate and white almond bark.
• I just use a sandwich bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner to drizzle the almond bark.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix cookie crumbs and cream cheese together in a bowl; roll into balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze cookie balls until solid, about 1 hour.
• Melt almond bark in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
• Dip cookie balls in the melted almond bark, removing balls using 2 forks to allow excess bark drip back into double boiler. Arrange coated cookie balls on the baking sheet; refrigerate until coating is firm, about 10 minutes.
