Trufflin'

I apologize… I said I wouldn’t post any cute recipes, and here I go. This one was just too good not to share.

Begin with a bowl, a box of oreos, and opera on the arts channel (which happens to be the final scene of Donizetti’s “Lucie de Lammermoor,” but I’ll spare you the details of Edgardo stabbing himself with a dagger, hoping to be reunited with Lucia in heaven) (but note the redbox in the background that we will switch to shortly.)

(these are mint oreos, but if youre not into that sort of thing, you can use regular ones)

Mash it to smithereens in whatever way you like best.
Mix in a chunk of cream cheese. Yum.

It really works best to mix it with your hands. Kinda gross, but then you can lick your fingers. But not YET, because first you have to roll them into balls. So – youre going to get your hands messy rolling them into balls anyway, so you may as well mix it with your hands!

Stick it in the fridge and wait a bit.

While you're waiting, lick the bowl and anything else with chocolate on it.

Melt chocolate chips. You can pick your color of chips. I picked white and semi sweet!

Dip your chilly balls into the melted chocolate and put back on the sheet. I did the top half white, chilled them for a bit more til the white chocolate hardened, then dipped the bottom half in the semi-sweet.

Serve chilled with love. Feeds 1 to 26 people.
