There are some foods that are so uniquely Texan. Yes, that includes queso. I do realize queso is all throughout the nation, but, in Texas it is not made with velvetta AND you can order it at even a fancy Italian restaurant. However, there is a Texas food that beats queso (although hard to image) and it is the oreo truffle. It requires 4 things. That. is. it.
What You Need
1 (1lb 2oz.) pkg Oreos
8oz. cream cheese, softened
Chocolate-Flavored Almond Bark
*1/2 tsp. vanilla (optional- may add other extracts to enhance flavor)
*Crisco if needed (to thin almond bark once melted)
What to do
- Crush Oreos using a food proccessor, or even by putting them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin.
- Add softened cream cheese and vanilla (if desired) and mix until smooth.
- Make small balls out of the mixture
- Chill mixture in fridge or freezer until firm.
- In microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark. If you want a slightly thinner coat of chocolate on each ball, add about a teaspoon of shortening (non-flavored).
- Drop Oreo balls into melted almond bark. Make sure to coat the entire surface then use a spoon to place on wax paper or aluminum. Let almond bark harden (you can use the fridge to speed this process up). ENJOY!
