Well, as a gluten-free person, I can't have Oreos unless they're sort of the "fake" kind, you know, gluten-free. Guess what? There are gluten-free homemade Oreo recipes, including one by Gluten-free Girl.
But there is also a store-bought crispy "Oreo-type" GF cookie by GLUTINO. So that's what I used. I like easy sometimes.
I made Faith's recipe and it was, indeed, a hit and no one could tell that I hadn't used "real" Oreos.
So here is my gluten-free version of Faith's OREO TRUFFLES.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS...You can use "real" Oreos in this recipe. :) Enjoy!
OREO TRUFFLES
Ingredients:
One package gluten-free “Oreos”
8 ounces whipped cream cheese
8 ounces semisweet chocolates
Sea salt (or good granular-type Kosher salt)
Directions:
Then mix in (I use a hand mixer) whipped cream cheese
(it’s fluffier). It forms a sort of dough.
Melt chocolate chips in a microwave. [I put them on
medium-high and I added 1 tablespoon water. Takes about 30-60 seconds. Stir with a spoon.]
Roll Oreo-cream cheese mixture into balls with your
hands and dunk each ball in melted chocolate. Cover completely with chocolate and set on a piece of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet
pan. Sprinkle them all with sea salt.
Stick in fridge to cool. Serve.
