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.

Pumpkins are more than just Icing on the Cake in Los Gatos

Monday, October 19th, 2009

On our way to Sur Le Table in LG this weekend we decided to walk into the Icing on the Cake Bakery to see what pumpkin items they baked this fall.  Lucky for us, we found the Harvest Moon moist pumpkin cookie with an orange glaze.  Other fall themed treats were a Buttery Pumpkin Muffin with Cream Cheese Icing, Pumpkin Loaf, and Pumpkin Pie Bars with a Shortbread Crust.  They also had their popular cookie, the Brownie Pecan Chunker.  The Harvest Moon and Brownie Pecan Chunker cookies were sinfully tasty and well worth the $5.25 we paid for the two.  I was delighted by the variety and selection of amazing looking baked goods.

I had remembered the recipe for their Chocolate Cherry Chunk cookie from the July 2008 Bon Appetit magazine R.S.V.P./Readers’ Favorite Restaurant Recipes and decided to google it: http://pinkstripes.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/cherry-and-chocolate-chip-cookies/ This cookie has alcohol-soaked dried cherries with semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
