Where can I find a great, quick and easy truffle recipe?

I want to make them today (7th December) and keep them until Christmas, and possibly even New Year! Thanks.Where can I find a great, quick and easy truffle recipe?
oreo cookies.. here is the original recipe.. but I alter it a bit.. will add my 2 cents worth at end of the copy and paste recipe..





Oreo Truffles


40 truffles (approximately)


Ingredients


1 lb Oreo cookies (3 sleeves)


8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (using different extracts allows for subtle flavour changes...I've used mint extract, upped to 1 tsp) (optional)


1 lb milk chocolate


1/2 lb white chocolate


Directions


1 Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder.


2 With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).


3 Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet.


4 Refrigerate for 45 minutes.


5 Line two cookie sheets with wax paper.


6 In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate.


7 Dip balls and coat thoroughly.


8 With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off.


9 Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.


10 In separate double boiler, melt white chocolate.


11 Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over balls.


12 Let cool.


13 Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.





* I roll these sometimes in any of the following.. crushed starlight mints, crushed caramel hard candies, colored granulated sugar, finely chopped mixed nuts, coconut, crushed candybars, or anything to your hearts desire..
