Out of this world...

...Oreo Truffles! Yes! It seems like everybody on the web has tried these but me, so, in honor of the holiday, I decided to give it a try. I used Cool Mint Oreos and Ghiradelli 60% Cacao. All I can say is Wow! Now if I were a little better at dipping chocolates...I just need more practice. I think a new holiday tradition has been born! I used this recipe.

And here are a few tips:

• Refrigerate your filling before rolling it into balls.
  
• After you roll the balls, refrigerate or freeze until firm before dipping.
  
• When you melt your chocolate, make sure it is completely "loose," my first batch the chocolate was melted but not loose enough and it coated too thickly (not a totally bad thing, but you'll use tons more chocolate that way).
