Oreo Truffles- Perfect for Christmas !




Ugh I picked the worst time of year to try to get in shape. Seriously. I LOVE cookies. and pumpkin pie. and New Years Eve food. ugh. I can do it though and so can you! I LOVE the OREO Truffles I had at a baby shower. They covered them in chocolate but I actually prefer them without choclate. Here is the super easy recipe! ( And it's somewhat healthier too!)

Ingrediants:
1 box/bag ( what do they call them now?) Oreo's of your choice ( I used Kroger Brand Mint Chocolate and double stuffed Golden Oreos)
1 block of Neufchatel Cheese ( its in the cream cheese section) softened
sprinkles/colored sugar for decoration

Step 1- Unbox oreos and place in food proccessor ( I put 1/2 in then pulverized - I mean mixed them. then added the other half and mixed them together :)

Step 2- Add Cream cheese once its softened ( i cut mine into 4 cubes and put them into the processor)
Step 3- Blend the oreo mixture until it is creamy ( mine was about 20 seconds in the processor)
Step 4- roll the oreos mixture into a small ball ( about the size of a gumball or small jawbreaker
Step 5- Place balls on cookie sheet and place in freezer overnight ( mine were a little soft so I had to freeze them
Step 6- Roll Balls into colored sugar, sprinkles or candy pearls for a pretty finish!
Step 7- Enjoy and EAT!

I truly think reducing the chocolate and making it with neufchatel cheese made it not only healthy but also figure friendlier!

What are you planning on making this Holiday Season?
