Happy Sunday ... It's a "short but sweet" kinda day...
Have you ever had an Oreo cookie truffle? I didn't even know they existed until last week when I stumbled upon the recipe. The prep is easy but the dipping can get a little tricky. With a little patience, you can definitely do this!
Here are a few of my tips for using chocolate as a coating for cookies and treats, etc.
- melt over a double boiler on low
- keep the chocolate warm (not hot)
- add a little vegetable oil/shortening to the mix to thin it out (I used a tablespoon)
This was almost as fun as the Nutella Krispy Crunch Treats: Nutella Krispy Crunch Treats
