Oreo Truffles

The tasty little bites are a family favourite during the Christmas season.

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (4 rows) Oreo cookies
1 three-oz. pkg. cream cheese (200g soft cheese)
chocolate almond bark (in UK use "plain choc. flavoured cake covering")

Crush cookies using a food processor or mini-chopper; pour into medium sized mixing bowl.  Add cream cheese to crushed cookies and blend well using an electric mixer till combined.

Scoop cookie/cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking tray lined with wax paper.  Chill one hour or more.

Melt almond bark (plain choc.) in double boiler over low heat.  Roll balls in melted chocolate until thoroughly coated, then place back onto wax paper to cool.  Decorate with drizzles of white chocolate, if desired.  Can be refrigerated in an air-tight container up to 1 month; frozen up to 2 months.
