#127: Oreo Cookie Balls


Yummy and Easy.  That's exactly what these cookies are.  Mmmmm...  I made a few alterations to make this even easier to make.  My additions/notes are in red. 

Ingredients


1 pound chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (Use your food processor!)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 pound vanilla-flavored candy coating, melted

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed cookies and cream cheese to form a stiff dough. Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.  Place in fridge for about 30+ minutes to firm up.  (This makes it much easier to dip into the chocolate).  Melt the candy coating and dip the balls into it and cover completely with chocolate.  Let rest on waxed paper until set.  When the cookie balls are still wet, decorate and top with crushed cookie pieces or colored sprinkles or sugar.  When it dried, I used kitchen shears to cut around the cookie balls so there wasn't so much melted candy on the bottom of each piece and to make them look prettier.

Now I am dying to try these with peanut butter sandwhich cookies and melted semi-sweet chocolate.
