These truffles (normally called balls, but I'm trying to be all professional here) are heroic. My normal Oreo Truffles are raved about wherever I take them. I went to a picnic this summer and brought a double batch (that's over 100 truffles) and they were literally gone in less than 5 minutes. Not joking at all. They are amazing and if you need to make friends, make these.
Anyway, I wanted to fall up my Oreo Truffles and I thought, why not make them pumpkiny? So I used the Golden Oreos and added pumpkin and spices. These seriously taste like fall exploded into your mouth. They are pretty amazing and a nice little snack to take to your autumn pot lucks. I feel like they have gotten better since sitting in the fridge for a day. The spices have really come alive and you can really taste the pumpkin. I'm excited to share these... but for now, the whole batch sits in my fridge all for me! Oh yay! Enjoy!
Fall Oreo Truffles
Serves: 25 (if you limit yourself to 2... which you won't)
Ingredients:
1 package of Golden Oreos
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon, plus more for sprinkeling
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
6 squares of white chocolate candy coating
Directions:
In a good blender, blend up the Oreos until fine. Do not over blend, mine took about 5 seconds.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and pumpkin. Add spices and stir. Stir in the cookie crumbles and mix until the dough can form a ball. Place in a sealed container and freeze for an hour up to overnight.
Roll the mixture into balls. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments. Dip the balls into the chocolate and place on parchment paper to harden. Sprinkle with cinnamon before completely hardened. Enjoy! Store leftovers in fridge.
