Oreo Truffles..oh how I LOVE thee!

OH how I love these! I could write pages about how wonderful these little babies are. How amazingly easy they are to make,but they look fancy. Oreo Truffles may just have the power to save the world, or at least make many grown adults giddy as children even for just a moment. You can get a major WOW factor with very minimal effort. These are perfect to make for entertaining, gifts of all kind. I especially like making them around the holidays. My favorite way to package them and present them is as followed.
*Place an assortment of white chocolate and milk chocolate oreo truffles in mini muffin paper wraps (customize them to the season or holiday).
*Pack them in a bakers box, a festive tin, decorative basket...ect.
*Loosely wrap with beautiful tissue paper.
Great for teachers, friends, neighbors, family, hair dresser, the mailman.....ect
Another wonderful thing is you can double the recipe or more and do a big batch and knock it out really fast. Not to be a cheap girl but, these do not cost an arm and a leg, like you my have spent to buy something already made like this for gifts. I hope these also bring many positive vibes your way along with happy tummy's. HUGS!

kraft kitchens tips

HOW TO MELT CHOCOLATE

Place unwrapped chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring every 30 sec.

HOW TO EASILY DIP TRUFFLES

To easily coat truffles with the melted chocolate, add truffles, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove truffles with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place truffles on prepared baking sheet; let stand until firm.

HOW TO STORE

Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
