Thursday Night Recipe

Don't we all occassionally need a good recipe that we haven't worn out already? I recently came across a recipe for Oreo Truffles. I think they'll make the perfect addition to a holiday party, date night, or simply a 'just because' treat!

Oreo Truffles

1 pkg. (1 lb., 2 oz.) OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

CRUSH 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.)

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.
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.

REFRIGERATE until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
