valentine treat

here is a really easy, really yummy treat we made today for our preschool teachers.  my sister and i made these for christmas as well.  i think oreos are perfect for any occasion.

here's what you need, yes i know- they already look good! 

FIRST mix the cream cheese in your mixer- then add a few oreos at a time.  (my sister did them all together over christmas- let's just say flying oreos....... ) chill for an hour

next have your little helpers roll the mixture into balls. we had kate over today- she kept saying
 "hey, i think i'm very good at this." :) 

sweet will/the hulk was turning his into "hot dogs" 

chill the rolled balls for another 15 minutes

melt chocolate in microwave then coat oreo balls

cover with your favorite sprinkles!!

next let them hang out on wax paper in the fridge for about an hour

ta-da!  homemade oreo truffles- made my my favorite 3, 4 and 5 year old! 



i think these will make a really nice gift for jack and kate's preschool teachers.  i plan to package them in small boxes or tins with a hand written note from the kids.  these would make nice gifts for your neighbors, the mailman- whoever deserves a sweet treat this time of year!  happy heart day!
