Oreo Truffles

Everyone loves oreos. Not many things are better than a chocolate cookie with a vanilla creme middle. Unless you put take that cookie and coat it in chocolate. I'm not a fan of cream cheese at all. I will not spread it on a bagel nor will I eat many foods containing it. However, these truffles are one dessert with cream cheese that I just can't say no to.

Cookies 'N' Creme Fudge

I have been craving fudge. CRAVING it. I asked my mom for her amazing fudge recipe but she wouldn't give it to me because she said "fudge is for the holiday season." PSHT! I was a little nervous to use her recipe anyways. The last time I did was a DISASTER. So, I decided to take it upon myself to make a spectacular fudge. I know everyone loves oreos. So, I decided to make a Cookies 'n' Creme type of fudge. To me, the plain chocolate fudge while a classic, is boring. I wanted to expand my and everyone at Physical Therapy's horizons. Well, needless to say, horizons were expanded. Within the first bite of the fudge, numerous Physical Therapists and aides were asking me for the recipe and trying to remember what I told them. I have discovered that few things make me happier than seeing someone smile, receiving a thumbs up, or hearing a loud MMMMM after they taste my dessert.

Cookies 'N' Creme Fudge

Ingredients
18oz white chocolate chips
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups coarsely crushed oreos

Directions
In heavy saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Remove from heat; stir in crushed oreos. Spread mixture evenly into wax paper lined 13x9 inch pan. Chill for 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off wax paper and cut into squares. Store leftover covered in refrigerator. Debate about whether or not it's worth going back to plain chocolate fudge.
