Mint Oreo Truffles

Oreos are a huge temptation for me.  I try really hard not to go down the cookie isle at the grocery store just so I'm not tempted.  I was unable to avoid the pull during a couple of my pregnancies and ended up with a 40 lb weight gain.  Not a comfortable thing during a Georgia summer!

The Original Oreo Truffles are yummy, but the Mint version are extreme - and I'm not really a mint person!  And how can you go wrong with a recipe that has cream cheese in it?

Mint Oreo Truffles

Ingredients:

6 oz Philly Cream Cheese (softened)

1 pkg. (15.25 oz)  Cool Mint Oreos, finely crushed

1 pkg. (24 oz) white almond bark


Directions:

1.  Mix crushed mint Oreos and softened cream cheese in a mixer until smooth.

 2.  Using a cookie scoop or spoon, roll into balls (about the size of a walnut). Chill for 30 minutes or more.

3.  Follow directions on Almond Bark package for melting in microwave.

4.  Dip balls in melted Almond Bark and let set on wax paper or in mini muffin cups.

5.  Refrigerate.

These are great for get togethers and sharing with friends and neighbors.  Although, you may want to make 2 batches if you are wanting to sample and share - just to make sure you have enough.
