1

Line 2 trays or cookie sheets with wax paper. Break cookies and process in food processor or place in heavy-duty (freezer) food storage bag and crush to make fine crumbs using a rolling pin.

2

Mix cookie crumbs and cream cheese in medium bowl until well combined. Divide mixture (mixture will be soft) into 36 equal balls (about 1 inch each); place on one prepared tray. Refrigerate about 1 hour or freeze 20 minutes.

3

Place milk chocolate chips and shortening in deep microwave-safe bowl (such as a glass measuring cup). Microwave at medium (50%) 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at medium an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred.

4

One at a time, place cookie balls on fork and dip into melted chocolate mixture; gently tap off excess coating. (If coating mixture cools and coating becomes difficult, microwave at medium 10 to 15 seconds; stir.) Place on second prepared tray. Before coating sets, sprinkle tops of cookie balls with desired toppings.

5

Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm. Serve chilled. Cover and refrigerate leftover truffles.

Tip

Garnish with colored sprinkles, if desired.
