Coconut Golden Oreo Truffles

1. First you want to crumble the whole cookies…either in a food processor or do what I do and put them in a large Ziplock bag and smash the heck out of them with your rolling pin.

2. Layer the 1 1/2 cups of coconut in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake in a 325F oven for 12-15 minutes.

3. Mix the block of cream cheese and 1 cup toasted coconut with the cookie crumbs and mix til well blended.

4. Shape the mixture into 1 inch balls and put the balls on a waxed paper lined baking sheet. When you are done rolling all of the mixture, put the pan in the fridge to firm up.

5. Melt chocolate however according to package instructions.

6. One the truffles are firm (usually 30 minutes), dip them in the melted chocolate and set them back on waxed paper to harden. Top each truffle with a sprinkle of the remaining toasted coconut while chocolate is still wet.

7. Voila….HEAVEN in your mouth!
