Oreo Truffles
(which aren't even made from cake, but that's what they are called!!)
One bag of oreos (minus nine of them) You can use Chocolate or the vanilla ones or I'm sure any variety!
One package of 8 oz cream cheese softened
One bag of Wilton white chocolate melting discs sold at Micheals (they come in a variety of colors)
Various sprinkles to decorate White Wilton long sticks
Take the bag of oreos (minus nine)and put in a gallon ziploc bag. Smash thoroughly until no chunks are visible. Pour smashed Oreos into a bowl and combine with the cream cheese. Shape in to balls ping pong size or a little bigger, and put a white stick through. Freeze all balls on a pan not touching over night or for many hours. Melt chocolate discs according to package instructions. *important to note that you want your microwave on half power or the defrost setting, chocolate burns easily. Once the chocolate is smooth, dip frozen ball in it using a spoon to pour over any parts that may need additional coverage. Keep the ball tipped over the bowl until it has set up a little so its not dripping. May need to take a little off the bottom of the ball with finger (by the stick) to prevent dripping. Sprinkle decorations over the ball while it is still sticky and not set up completely. Repeat with all the balls. I found it works best if you don't have more than 10 out of the freezer at a time or they start to soften too much and fall off the sticks. If they soften put them back in the freezer until they harden.
These can be displayed as I did or in 3 smaller pots dividing them up. Or you can put them on smaller sticks and put them upside down on a plate and tie a bow around the lollipop stem. You really can't go wrong....these are soooo yummy!! I even did some without sticks and just put them on a plate. This recipe will make about 30 depending on the size of the cake balls.
