red velvet oreo truffles

Aka the easiest and tastiest truffles you will ever make. They're also great because you can decorate them to suit whatever occasion you're making them for, not just Valentine's Day. Fun fact: I don't like white chocolate. But I do like salt with dark chocolate!

I don't have an exact recipe for this since 1) I ate some of the Oreos before and during making this and 2) I didn't keep count of how many I ate. I referenced to this recipe though I do believe I used around half the amount of cream cheese they did. If it helps, it was half an 8-ounce package of cream cheese with a little less than a package of the red velvet Oreos. 

To make up for my uselessness in providing actual adapted instructions, here are some tips that might help:

• The Oreos don't have to be super crushed if you don't have a food processor - as long as pieces of it don't stick out too much when you're rolling them into balls, it'll still work fine.
• I scooped a little less than a tablespoon with a tablespoon to make the balls more uniform in size.
• Letting the Oreo and cream cheese mixture sit over a night or two will make the texture softer.
• If your chocolate has trouble melting into a dippable consistency, try putting a little bit of oil to thin it out. I used coconut oil, but I think any vegetable oil will work.
• Here's an alternative to dipping truffles if using forks is too messy for you.
• Edited to add: Soak everything in hot water for 5-10 minutes for east cleanup!

Apparently red velvet Oreos are all the rage right now, according to my Facebook friends.
