One of the easiest and yet most delicious desserts in my arsenal are these Oreo truffles, which definitely came in handy last night when it was very late and I had yet to start making something for today's holiday potluck at work. I've made these before with regular Oreos, and used Trader Joe's candy cane Joe-Jos this time to be extra festive (and because that's what I had).
Instructions as follows: crush a box of Oreos (with a food processor if you have one; mine is currently on loan and fortunately I found a combination of a rolling pin and a hammer works great, too). Mix in a brick of room temperature cream cheese. Roll into balls; dip the balls into melted semisweet chocolate. Set to dry on parchment paper and sprinkle if desired. Cool in the fridge to set.
In a hurry, I took these pictures with my iPhone, so they're not mind-blowing but you get the idea. Warning: they are very dense and sweet, so just a small bite and you might be running for milk, but you'll be back for another bite right away!
