Chocolate Bon-Bons/Oreo Truffles

This is a seriously simple recipe for chocolate bon-bons. Also, recently I asked my shop keeper for wax paper. He didn't know what I was talking about of course, but when I described it, he said, "Oh, that's butter paper." I bought a few sheets, and it's not exactly like wax paper, but it functions the same way for baking and candies, etc. So, ask for it next time you're at the shop! :)

Chocolate Bon Bons

1 box of oreo cookies/3 rolls here

8 oz. box cream cheese softened (or 11/2 tubs of Britannia cream cheese)

2 c. chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars, milk, dark, whatever you want

2 T. plus 2 t. shortening/vanaspati

White chocolate for drizzle, optional

In a food processor, combine oreos and cream cheese. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place chocolate and vanaspati in a large bowl that will fit over another bowl. Place warm water in the second bowl, and place the first bowl in the warm water. Stir the chocolate and shortening with a rubber spatula continuously , allowing the water underneath to melt it. If the water cols off, replace it with warm water. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Using a fork, lift each ball, dip it in the chocolate mixture, then place on butter paper to cool. Drizzle with the white melted chocolate if desired.
