Paula Deen's Oreo Truffles

Easiest Oreo Truffles
I love these truffles and think they are a perfect as a snack or to bring to a party. Basically with this recipe all you need are oreos, cream cheese, and dipping chocolate that can be found in little containers at the grocery store. I really suggest trying this delicious treat and hope you enjoy them!

Ingredients: 
  • Food Processor 
  • Plastic Wrap 
  • Wax Paper 
  • 18 oz. package of oreos 
  • 8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature 
  • 1 lb dipping chocolate (any type of chocolate you like) it should like something like this so you can just microwave the chocolate and place the balls in it 












Steps:
1. Grind the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Add cream cheese and blend until it forms a ball. Take the dough from the food processor and wrap in plastic wrap. Then refrigerate for one hour. You may do more than an hour but no less because the dough must be cold so it will not fall apart when you dip it in chocolate. If you leave the dough in the fridge overnight, take it out about an hour before dipping in the chocolate so it has time to thaw. 




2. Pinch off enough of the dough to roll into balls about the size of a walnut. When the balls are smaller it makes it easier to dip them in the chocolate so they don't fall apart. 

3. Now stick a toothpick in the ball and place it in the chocolate. Then, lay the chocolate covered dough on a sheet of waxed paper. 

4. Put the chocolate covered balls in the fridge so they can harden. 

5. ENJOY!!!

Tini’s österreichisch Hühnersuppe mit Gemüse

Alternate ingredients include frozen peas, parsnips (even small strips of previously roasted parsnips!), and diced beetroot.

Ingredients:

4 large roasting chickens (store-bought rotisserie chickens will do just fine)

2 bags carrots

1 bunch celery

1 clump of fresh spinach

2 pounds very small red potatoes *

1 bunch parsley (Italian parsley is better because it has more taste and gets chopped up

anyway, but regular curly parsley will also do). Avoid dried parsley.

1 large onion

* small dumplings may substitute for the potatoes; also 2 packages of store-bought

potato gnocchi or cheese tortellini will work just fine.

Preparation:

n After chickens are roasted, allow to cool and remove as much meat as possible; set aside in refrigerator

n In a 12-quart stock pot low boil chicken carcasses for about 3-4 hours with sufficient water to cover. Putting the carcasses in a large, flexible wire strainer will facilitate removal of the bones afterwards. Without strainer, simply strain broth through colander and return to stockpot. Bring to low boil.

n If you are using potatoes, add them to broth now to cook. Clean and if necessary, cut into smaller pieces.

n If using dumplings, gnocchi or tortellini, add these later—with only 10 minutes left to boil.

n Peel carrots, then continue to shred the carrots into strips. A “heavy hand” with the peeler will do this quite easily. Add to broth.

n Chop onion and add to broth.

n Dice celery and add to broth.

n Chop spinach and put aside for now

n Boil for 40 minutes, then add spinach, and dumplings/gnocchi/tortellini if you’re using them instead of potatoes. Also add chicken pieces at this point. Stir well and boil for 10 minutes, then remove from flame.

n Finely chop parsley and set aside.

Serve:

In large soup plate, sprinkle chopped parsley on top ENJOY!!!!
