Oreo Cheesecake Balls/Truffles

This is not the prettiest batch I have ever made...but when it really comes down to it the taste of something FAR outweighs the presentation. These balls of goodness are INCREDIBLY easy to make...and yes, you will probably make a mess...but isn't that the fun of stirring up trouble in the kicthen?

Ingredients:
 Cheesecake balls
  • 1 pkg Cream Cheese (If you want to experiment try the Honey nut or you can even used Whipped Cream cheese)
  •  1 pkg oreos 
  • 2 tsps Vanilla extract 
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

garnish/coating
  • 2-3 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
  1.  Use a hand mixer to combing your package of cream cheese, vanilla extract and cup of powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until well blended. 
  2.  Use a food processor to crush the oreos into tiny pieces (You can also use a ziploc bag and/or rolling pin)
  3. Mix the oreos and cheesecake mixture until fully combined. 
  4. Form balls of cheesecake mixture and place them onto a sheet of wax paper in a pan. 
  5. Freeze cheesecake balls for about 30 minutes. 
  6. Melt your chocolate chips (You can use microwave or stove...careful not to burn or overheat your chocolate) [If using microwave stir every 30 seconds) 
  7. Remove balls from freezer and dip them in the melted chocolate. Return to parchment paper in pan. 
  8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Keep chilled until serving time!

These are so easy to make and very yummy! Hope you enjoy!
