Easy OREO Truffles

Ma'am Galang/ Chef Galang gave me tons of recipes today (thanks ma'am) and I am very excited about this one. I hope my dad will accompany me to Robinson's Place Manila tomorrow, to buy the ingredients at a new store I am loving at this moment - Baker's Depot. ( I have their link on my Yummy Sites sidebar) :D They sell almost all the things you will need for baking.. and even some things for cooking. Love it! :D This recipe is from Kraft and I don't have the link so...

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Easily Dip Truffles

To easily coat truffles with the melted chocolate, add truffles, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Then use two forks to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove the truffles with forks and allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl before placing truffles on prepared baking sheet.

Special Extra

Sprinkle truffles with colored sugar or sprinkles in addition to or in place of the cookie crumbs.

How to Soften Cream Cheese

Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

*my thoughts/ ideas/suggestions:
you can lessen the amount of ingredients so that you will make less of the truffles (especially if you are just like me who is just about to try making it...) ^^ you can also use white chocolate or any chocolate you like(mint chocobars perhaps?)


hope you are inspired as I am to doing this recipe..

take care and God bless...
