Oreo Truffles

 Prep Time:

30 min

Total Time:
1 hr 30 min

Makes:
3-1/2 doz. or 42 servings, one truffle each

1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed, divided

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

MIX 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.

DIP balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored in tightly covered container at room temperature and saved for another use.) Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

You can make them with other kinds of Oreos too, like mint Oreos. 

Cheese Crispies

After making a grilled cheese sandwich (Have you made the sandwich yet? No? Go do that. Then come back.), turn the heat off and sprinkle the pan with shredded cheese. Let the heat of the pan almost burn the cheese. When there is no more heat, scrape the crispies off. Eat them. 

Peanut Butter Crispies

1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tbsp molasses
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups crushed graham crackers

Melt the sugar into the corn syrup, molasses and salt over low heat. Mix in the peanut butter. Pour over crushed graham crackers. Stir until it all clumps up. If it's still sticky, add more graham crackers. If it's crumbly, take graham crackers out.

Tastes delicious with chocolate melted on top or mixed into a good brand of vanilla ice cream.

Brookies

 Ingredients:

Make a batch of brownie batter, OR 1 pkg whatever brownie mix you want, Ghirardelli is my fav

Make a batch of cookie dough, OR 1 pkg premade cookie dough

Chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 by 13 inch pan with cooking spray. Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Put on some chocolate chips. Then put globs of cookie dough on top. Put on s'more chocolate chips. Laugh at my funny joke. Now you may proceed. Put pan in the oven and cook for 30 min. 

For a special twist: Put caramel on it because why the heck not.
