Oreo Buckeyes

Here's a flexible recipe which could take many substitutions: cream cheese instead of peanut butter, any kind of cookies instead of Oreos, and any type of chocolate and toppings. 

Ingredients:

- crushed Oreos
- peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- powdered sugar

- chocolate chips (any variety)
- shortening

- chopped peanuts or other toppings

Directions:

Start with about 18 crushed Oreos. Mix in about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter, then as much powdered sugar as needed to bring to a consistency that is easy to work with. Roll into balls. Freeze for several hours.

Melt chocolate chips with a small amount of shortening as needed to create fluid dipping consistency. Dip the frozen truffles in the melted chocolate, then place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or other toppings. Refrigerate to harden.
