Cotton Candy Oreo Truffles

I guess this is “Ashley eats like a child” week here on Wishes and Dishes.  Earlier this week I excitedly shared my Fruity Pebbles Buttercream Frosting with the world and now today I am in full cotton candy mode.  Mr. Wishes definitely had a thing or two to say when I came home from Target with Cotton Candy Oreos.  I knew they were in existence because I had seen others post about them on social media but I don’t really frequent Target (I know..what’s wrong with me?).  Therefore, I didn’t get my hands on them until recently.  Somehow I managed to only grab one box, but it wasn’t easy.  As a cotton candy lover, these babies get an A+ from me.  The creme is light and fluffy like cotton candy.

Ingredients

• 20 Cotton Candy Oreo cookies
• 6 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 package (12 oz.) blue Wilton candy melts (or any brand, vanilla flavor)
• 1 package (12 oz.) pink Wilton candy melts (or any brand, vanilla flavor)

Instructions

1. Set a long sheet of wax paper over a cookie sheet, set aside.
2. Place whole Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed (alternately if you don't own a food processor you can place Oreos in a large Ziploc bag, seal bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely crushed).
3. Add chunks of cream cheese and pulse in food processor until evenly moistened and forms a "dough" and is completely combined.
4. Scoop mixture out and form into 1 inch balls then align on prepared cookie sheet. They will be messy- that's OK.
5. Place truffles in freezer for about a half hour (or longer).
6. Melt chocolate according to directions on package (if you are using two colors, just melt the main one you are dipping truffles in). Do not scorch. If microwaving, only do so in 20-30 second intervals on half power, stirring each time.
