Gingerbread Oreo® Truffles

In looking for some good fall/winter truffle recipes, I decided a gingerbread truffle recipe would be wonderful, so I took my knowledge of truffle recipes and put it to use. The following is my own simple recipe for a nice fall/winter treat--not too sweet, and not loaded with chocolate like many other truffle recipes.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Crush gingersnap cookies and sandwich cookies in a food processor. Pour into a medium bowl and mix with cream cheese.

Step 2

Form into 1-inch balls and chill until hardened, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Melt cinnamon chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, about 1 minute.
