Samoas Truffles {Girl Scout Cookies}

 

Samoas Truffles {Girl Scout Cookies}

INGREDIENTS

• 15 ounces Samoas Girl Scout Cookies (alternatively, use Keebler Coconut Dreams  if you don't have access to Girl Scout Cookies)
• 1 - 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
• 1 - 20 ounce package chocolate flavored Almond Bark

DIRECTIONS

1.   Begin by crushing 15 ounces of Samoas Girl Scout Cookies. I used a food processor and processed them until I was left with very fine crumbs. Reserve a couple tablespoons of the crushed Smoas for garnish.

2.     Using your mixer, combine the cookie crumbs with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.  Mix until well combined.

3.     Use a tablespoon of mixture for each truffle. Use your hands to create rounded truffles. You will be able to get about 35-40 truffles from the mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

4.   Pop the tray of truffles into the freezer for about 30 minutes, or the refrigerator for about an hour.

5.     Melt the almond bark and begin dipping each truffle. Drop one truffle at a time into the coating. Lift it out of the coating with a fork. Tap the fork on the rim of the bowl so that excess coating drips off. Immediately garnish with the reserved cookie crumbs.
