This easy "truffle" recipe is slightly adapted from Kraft. The only change I have made is to dip half the balls in white chocolate and half in seni-sweet chocolate, then drizzle the dipped balls with the opposite chocolate..
Kraft OREO Truffles
1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) Oreo Cookies, finely crushed, divided (a food processor works best)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 lb Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted
3/4 lb good quality white chocolate, melted
.
MIX 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.
.
DIP half the balls in melted white chocolate and the other half in the melted semi-sweet chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored in tightly covered container at room temperature and saved for another use.) Drizzle white chocolate balls with semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle the sem-sweet chocolate balls with white chocolate. If desired sprinkle dipped and drizzled balls with remaining cookie crumbs.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator. 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 CheesePlace 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.
