This is so easy! You only need three things and it take about 40 minutes to make. Oh and they are amazing!!! So much fun to make too.
All you need is a package of Double Stuffed Oreos.
4-8oz of Cream Cheese. (I used 6oz and they were awesome!)
and your favorite melting Chocolate.
First crush up the package of oreo's. You can use a food processor but I just did it the old fashion way. By wrapping them in wax paper and beating them to death with a rolling pin!
It's a great stress reliever.
You can set aside some of the crumbs to use to top off your truffles later on.
Once you've finished crushing all the oreo's put them in a mixing bowl along with your Cream cheese. (Make sure you cream cheese is room temp)
Once you've mixed your cream cheese and oreo crumbs together roll them into small balls. (about an inch big)once you've filled up the tray put them into the freezer for 15 minutes.
While the oreo balls are chilling start melting your chocolate. I used chocolate baking chips. The kind that go into cookies. It wasn't melting the way it usually does so I had to had some water and turn the heat up. If you add milk it will start to turn into fudge. Adding water and turning the heat up will thin it out but your chocolate won't harden all the way. This was okay in our house because some people don't have teeth. (You can also use butter to thin out your chocolate.
Once your oreo truffles have hardened you can dip them into the chocolate, being sure to cover the whole truffle. Once they have been covered put them back into the freezer for another 15 minutes and clean up your mess.
After 15 minutes (and you've finished cleaning) enjoy! They are pretty amazing and almost impossible to mess up.
This is the original recipe that I used and the website I got it from.

1 package Double Stuffed Oreos
4 oz. cream cheese, softened (you can use up to 8 oz., I just like this consistency better)
Dipping chocolate
Chop Oreos up finely in a food processor. Save some of the finely crushed Oreos for garnish later and set it aside. You don't need too much.
With hands (or a spoon, I just think hands are faster), mash softened cream cheese and crushed Oreos until well combined.
Roll into 1" balls and place on a wax covered cookie sheet. Put in freezer for 15 minutes.
While balls are in freezer, melt chocolate according to directions.
Pull the Oreo Truffles out of freezer, and dip into chocolate. Garnish with reserved Oreo crumbs before the chocolate sets up.
Let chocolate set, refrigerate and enjoy!
