Oreo Truffles

• INGREDIENTS:
• 
  
• 1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• Your choice of Milk/Semi-Sweet/White chocolate, melted
  

Directions

1. Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place in freezer while you melt the chocolate. 
2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs. 
3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

*Don't forget to sprinkle crumbs right after you dip the ball. This way the crumbs actually stick!
