Candy Cane Truffles That are Sure to Impress (just don't let folks know how easy they are to make!)

Christmas can be a little crazy.  Cookie exchanges, parties, entertaining...you need a game plan and shortcuts!  One really easy (and really impressive) holiday sweet treat is Candy Cane Truffles!  Here's the recipe:

Candy Cane Truffles

1 box Candy Cane/Mint Oreos, crushed (I use Aldi brand; Trader Joe's work well too)
1 brick cream cheese, softened
1 package almond bark (white or chocolate)
1 candy cane, crushed

Mix together crushed Oreos and cream cheese.  Using 2 teaspoons or a small scoop, place rounded mounds on a cookie sheet.  Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.  In the meantime, melt almond bark in microwave according to package instructions.  Using 2 forks, place each frozen ball of Oreo in the almond bark, then place on wax paper.  Immediately sprinkle a pinch of crushed candy cane on top of the truffle.  Store in the refrigerator.
