Ingredients
36OREO cookies(see notes)
1(8-ounce) packagecream cheese, softened
8ounceswhite chocolate melting wafers
Seasonal sprinkles
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a blender or food processor, pulse the Oreos (with filling) into fine crumbs. You can also place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
In a large bowl, mix together the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese with an electric mixer. If it isn't coming together, get your hands in there and mix it up.
Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the baking sheet. Roll into a ball with your hands. Freeze 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly firm. You don't want them too cold.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolatein the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between each,until smooth.
Use a fork to dip the Oreo balls into the chocolate. Tap on the edge of the bowl to get the smooth finish. Use a toothpick to help slide the ball back onto the baking sheet. Before the chocolate hardens, add sprinkles. Let harden completely.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Oreos: You’ll need about 1 package Oreos for this recipe. You do not have to remove the filling, however I like to remove the filling from about half or so to make them less rich. Variations: These are so much fun to decorate in a variety of ways, including a snowman that only requires a mini Oreo for the hat, a touch of melted milk chocolate wafers for the eyes and mouth, and an orange sprinkle for the nose. Add all of the decorations before the chocolate hardens. Storage: For best results, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 2 months.
