Easy Mint Truffles

1 20 oz. pkg. Oreo brand cookies (I recommend the mint)
8 oz pkg cream cheese, light or regular, softened
20 oz package milk or dark chocolate chips (Andes mint pieces are delicious too!)

1. Crush the cookies fine with food processor. Add cream cheese and mix well. Roll into 1" balls (or smaller) and set on cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.

2. Melt the chocolate in microwave safe bowl 30 seconds at a time until melted and smooth (you may not need all the chocolate). Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the chocolate as it is melting to help with the consistency. Dip the Oreo balls into chocolate and place on cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator to chill until firm.
