Oreo Truffles

1 package Oreo cookies
1 package Cream Cheese, softened
1 package chocolate chips (any flavor)
2-3 teaspoons shortening

Crush the Oreo's until very fine. Mix the cream cheese and crushed Oreo's together in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Chill the dough until it is easy to handle. Roll the dough into 1-inch size balls. Chill again if necessary. Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave on 50% power, 1 minute at a time, until it is melted and smooth. Dip the truffles into the chocolate and place it on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper that has been sprayed with Pam. Place in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is set. Mmmmmm!

(Try using peanut butter chocolate chips... or Mint Oreo's... or strawberry cream cheese... the possibilities are endless! Enjoy!)
