Home Cookin’: Oreo Truffles

Monday, April 19th, 2010

These are simply sinful and super easy to make!

Oreo Truffles Recipe

  • 1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) package Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted (higher quality works best)
  1. Crush 9 cookies in food processor until finely smashed and set aside. Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs.  Mix cream cheese with cookies.  Roll the cookies into roughly 40 or so 1-inch balls.
  2. Dip the balls in chocolate (higher quality chocolate tastes better). Place on wax paper and crumble cookies on top or drizzle white chocolate over top.
  3. Refrigerate until firm.  Store covered in fridge.

* I have to give credit to Amy for introducing me to this recipe and for making the truffles pictured above.

Chocolate, the Myth, the Legend; Downtown Santa Cruz

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Doctor, please, I need Chocolate intravenously pumped into my blood stream!

• Food & Beverages: The Desserts & Appetizers are the winners on the menu at Chocolate.  The desserts are amazing and can be enjoyed with just a beverage later in the evening.  Or you can indulge in a romantic dinner by sharing a fondue appetizer or small antipasti plate and then dessert to split.

• Good Date Spot: Romantic Dining Room & Heated Outdoor Patio.  Both of these dining areas are dimly lit for a romantic dinner or after dinner desserts with your honey or close friends.  FYI: the bathroom is located in the Bookshop Santa Cruz

• After dinner suggestions: Stroll around the Bookshop Santa Cruz afterward to let your food digest because you will be quite full, OR head to 515 for a creative hand-mixed cocktail.

• FINAL BITF: Chocolate is an after-dinner dessert stop for us.  We (John & Les) love to share the Gelato Sundae and the large Mate Veza Pale Ale.  Stick with the foundation dishes (cheese apps & antipasta plates) and desserts at Chocolate and you will be happy.
