Oreo truffles

So I was on the phone with Erin the other day and she told me to make these -
You will never guess how simple these are to make . . . .

Put a whole package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and processes until ground. Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and processes until well combined and smooth.

Shape into bite-sized balls, set on wax paper, and freeze for about 1 hour or until firm.

At this point - you can eat them just like that and they are very delicious, but I included one more step

Melt 2 bags of chocolate chips (I used semi sweet) and about 2 tbls of shortening. Dip the oreo balls into the chocolate and top with sprinkles if you want to. Store in the refrigerator.
