Hello...


Time for a quick check-in... Feeling after reading about full moons, hormones, and s.a.d.d.

There is such a thing as rum balls, and I used to make bourbon balls long ago. The young couple across the street brought over some kind of ball cookie that is one of the best cookies I've ever tasted. We didn't try them till after they left, but I definitely will ask for the recipe. They look like a glazed chocolate donut hole, but I think they must have ground Oreos in them -- really scrumptious!

I found the recipe:


Oreo Truffle Balls


1 (1 pound, 2 ounce) package Oreo cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
2 (8 ounces) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
8 ounces white chocolate, optional


* Use a good-quality chocolate. The taste and quality of these truffles are dependent on the quality of chocolate you start with.


Lin two large baking or cookie sheets with wax paper or a silpad; set aside.


In a food processor or blender, process and crush all of the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Add cream cheese and process until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese). Using your hands, roll into walnut-size balls, approximately 3/4-inch diameter. If the mixture becomes too soft to work, place the remaining mixture back into the refrigerator to slightly harden. Place Oreo Balls on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate or at least 45 to 60 minutes.


TIPS:




  • The Oreo Balls may be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.



  • If you put the Oreo balls in the freezer for a short time before dipping in chocolate, this helps keep the balls cold longer. I also put the cookie sheets in the freezer first so they are really cold when I place the chocolate covered Oregon Truffle Balls onto the cookie sheet.


Using one of the below methods, melt the chocolate chips:
