Oreo Truffles
8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
4 cups crushed Oreos (16-oz. package)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 TBSP vegetable shortening (like Crisco)
On the high speed of a mixed, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the crushed cookies and beat until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours, until chilled enough to roll. Roll into 1-inch balls.

You can use the off name brand cookies for this....taste just as good....Also you can use different flavored cookies..Like the vanillia ones with dark chocolate chips...Peanut butter flavor with the peanut butter flavor chips...Here we can get an orange/pineapple flavored cookie they would be good with the white chocolate chips...If you like add some peppermint flavoring to the dipping chocolate...or melt a few white chips and add some food color and drizzle over the cooled to add a bit more holiday flare....Have fun with this...

Why are they called moose poop, btw. It reminds me of those cat poop cookies you serve in something made to look like a litter box with litter... :-)

Dee, sorry I'm late, but made great brownies for the holidays (my waist will agree).
I box Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix...follow directions on box, and add
walnuts, marshmellows, chopped almonds and cranberries......so good, can't go wrong. I then freeze them (easier to cut), and take out 15 minutes before eating.

Irene, I am sure they were delicious. I would like to try that with homemade though, as I dislike the chemical taste in boxed mixes.

Make your basic coookie dough with flour, cocoa, egg, sugar, baking soda, salt, Canola oil, ad rest of ingredients above.

Thanks Irene. I am not lacking in the basic brownie recipe. Got plenty. But your combo of add-ins sounds interesting.

It would appear he has been deactivated already. I guess he didn't note that this area of the forum is "General Chat" where non shopping topics are fair game 
This post was in response to HReid's ridiculous sniper rant, who has been deactivated and had his posts removed. As such, I deleted it.
