Oreo Truffles

I made these the other day, and wow! They were so good---hubby is eating too many and they are almost gone! The original recipe is from Recipe Zaar. any changes I made are in blue. Here are pictures of them before and after dipping in chocolate. Next time I make these I am going to use the mint oreos!

1 lb Oreo cookies (3 sleeves) keep about 4 or 5 aside to crush to top truffles.
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used 1 tsp)

1 lb milk chocolate

Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. I just put them in a lg. ziploc bag and crushed them with a rolling pin
With a mixer (I used KA mixer), blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).
Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet.
Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
Line two cookie sheets with wax paper.
In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate.
Dip balls and coat thoroughly.
With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. Crush cookies that you set aside and sprinkle on top of truffles while chocolate is still melty.
Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet. Let cool (put in fridge).
Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
