Easy Chocolate Truffles

I am still amazed at how easy and incredibly delicious these little buggers are.  And they only have 3 ingredients!  Easy, delicious and only 3 ingredients?  Can you guess what will end up on the goodie trays my friends and neighbors will be getting in a couple weeks?  These Easy Chocolate Truffles. 

2 (11.5 ounce) bags milk chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
12 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed (I used mint filled Oreos.  YUM!!!)

Place chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl.  Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each 30 seconds, until chocolate chips are melted.  Let the chocolate cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the whipped topping until smooth and well combined.  Place mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.  Roll the chocolate mixture into small balls and roll in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.

It's easiest to have a little helper when rolling the balls.  One to roll the chocolate mixture and one to roll them in the crumbs.  It's not hard to do both alone, just a little easier with a little helper.
