Oreo Truffles

1 package regular size Oreo cookies

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 package white almond bark

1 package chocolate almond bark

Using a food processer, blend Oreos into crumbs.

Add cream cheese to crumbs and blend together

in food processer until it forms a dough.

Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Chill for an hour.

Melt package of white almond bark in a double boiler. Stick a toothpick in a ball and dip it in the melted almond bark.

Allow to harden on wax paper, takes about 15 minutes.

While waiting melt 1/4 package of chocolate almond bark. When Oreo balls are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate. Cut a tiny hole in one corner of a sandwich bag to drizzle the chocolate.

Makes 25-45 truffles

Warning: these truffles are addictive. They are extremely easy but taste absolutely sinful. I am interested in substituting the original Oreos for the mint or peanut butter flavor. I'll update the blog if I do.

Memories

Ever since I can remember, I've always loved to bake cookies & other goodies. My favorite teacher by far was my grandmother. She was such a great cook that it spurred me on to try new things. So I would like to use this blog as a memory to my favorite grandma & all the memories we made together, they are something I can always hold dear & share with others.In the kitchen with my father.

My grandmother & I canning.

The name of this blog, Grandma's Gobs & Goodies, comes from my husband's love of his grandmother's gobs. So what is a gob you might ask. In Indiana, Pennsylvania, a gob is made of 2 chocolate cookies with a cream filling holding them together. Other people, especially in the New England states call these "Whoopie Pies".

As a new bride, I wanted to make things that my husband enjoys so that's why I started making gobs & experimenting with other recipes. I always enjoy a challenge & like to try to make things better. So my first recipe to post, since it's Christmas time, is...
