Animal Cracker Truffles Recipes

ANIMAL CRACKER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• 1. In food processor, combine cracker crumbs and cram cheese. Roll into walnut size balls.
• 2. Melt the chocolate (couple of methods to doing this). Dip balls into melted chocolate one at a time. Top with fun sprinkles.
• 3. Place in refrigerator until hard.
• 4. Melting chocolate: Using a microwave safe container (I like using pyrex glass measuring cups) start at one minute on 50% power. Stir. Add additional 30 sec intervals as needed. Double boiler: Place chips in top pan over simmering water. Do not let the pan touch the water. Stir until smooth.

ANIMAL CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grind oats until fine using a blender or food processor.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the blended oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the butter lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the buttermilk and honey to form a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets.
• Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
