Truffles

One container of Oreos, crushed finely (save about 9 crushed Oreos for the topping. Mix Oreo crumbs with a block of softened cream cheese. Put the mixture in the fridge to firm up a little bit. Take the cream cheese mixture and form it into little balls and put it on wax paper. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or semi-sweet Bakers chocolate (2 packs). Melt these in the microwave and dip the balls to coat, using two forks. Give them a good coat and then put them back on waxpaper. Sprinkle the extra crushed cookies over the top.
