  1. These take some time, but they are so easy to make and they always impress. I have made these many times and I always chill the cream cheese and cookie crumb mix before I roll them into balls. I then chill them a little longer before I dip them into the melted chocolate. I find that this keeps them from falling apart when I dip them. I have also tried the yellow oreos and they have come out very tasty as well.
     
  2. Wow, these are really good. I had actually ripped this recipe out of my Kraft food & family magazine, and put it in my recipe binder. It is just my husband and me, so I waited for a "special occasion" to make them so I could take them somewhere. I made St. Patrick's Day-themed truffles, using green and white candy melts from a craft store (Michael's). I used about half a bag of each candy melt. I used a whole bag of mint oreos, and I didn't do the "reserve 9 cookies for the topping" thing, I just scooped out and set aside 1/4 cup of crumbs (which actually turned out to be a bit too much, since I did so many different designs). If I had done just crumbs on all of them, it probably would've been a good amount. Oh, I also used Neufchatel (1/3 less fat) cream cheese, and it worked fine. I stuck the truffles in the freezer after step 4 for about 30 minutes (while I played outside with my puppy), and I think it helped the dipping go easier. I don't know how many I got; I just kept rolling and dipping until everything was gone! This is a great one to be creative with (Oreo flavors, candy melt colors, designs/sprinkles on top). Thanks for posting it!
     
  3. A little bit too rich, otherwise everything is great.
     
  4. Haven't made yet. Has anyone tried this with mint Oreo's? Sounds yummy t me!
     
  5. Excellent! I used Almond Bark instead of chocolate chips and sprinkled them with a little white crystal sugar for a pretty sparkle. I got the recipe from the Kraft Foods website and came here to be sure they were posted for the food.com groupies! Can't wait to take them to the Memorial Day BBQ and share because if they stay here, I'm eating them ALL!!!

My name is Robin, and welcome to my about me page. I will try to be as brief as possible, but I tend to be long winded. If you get bored at anytime, feel free to move on...I won't be offended. I was born in the great city of New Orleans, but have had the pleasure of travelling and living all over the place. My parents moved to Lafayette, Louisiana when I started high school. After high school, I was a nanny and lived in England (London). I miss it A LOT!! England, not the being a nanny part. I lived and got married in California (Los Angeles), but we moved back to Lafayette to be closer to family. Well, to make a long story short, things didn't work out and we got a D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!! After that, I packed up and moved to Texas (Beaumont). I met the love of my life (Toby) on-line - believe it or not - and he whisked me away to Kentucky (Louisville). Which is where I lay my head and call home now. I absolutely love it here!! I love having seasons!! The trees changing colors in Fall and snow in the Winter, along with a BEAUTIFUL Spring and HOT Summer!! We live in the house Toby grew up in, and are about to start doing some MUCH needed renovations! (I DEMAND A BIGGER KITCHEN!!) I have recently (this past year) started growing my own herbs. I threw in a few tomato plants for good measure :D. Now I have the bug!! I want more more MORE!! So Toby has so lovingly decided to make me an actual garden. This way I can grow all sorts of fun stuff!! I can't wait!! I love fresh home grown veggies and stuff!! And NOTHING beats fresh herbs!!! Toby has a son (Zach, 11) from a previous marriage. I guess that would make me the wicked stepmom.....I hope not!!! We also have in our lovely family 2 dogs (Daisy, a Cockapoo who runs the house and Missy, a Black Lab), a cat (Mystery), and a ferret (Flower). I am a stay at home stepmom (that is my job), so I have all day to cook and look up different recipes. I LOVE it!! I have figured out that I can cook twice as much if I give half of what I cook away....LOL!! This means Toby's business partner and his wife eat just as well as we do!! They have told me on many occasions, that if I can't take Toby anymore they will add on to their house to make room for me. All I have to do is cook!! LOL!! My parents are foodies and I TOTALLY blame them for my passion for food!! I will try anything once. I have found that I really do like some things I "thought" I hated. Although, I do still HATE (green)peas!! Here is my rating key for reviews: ***** = HEAVEN - I would not change a thing!! **** = Was VERY good, but would make a few changes *** = Not a bad recipe, but would make quite a few changes if I made it again ** = Would have to make a lot of changes to enjoy * = Didn't enjoy it at all, and will probably not make again.
