Ingredients

  • 16 oz Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (e.g. Oreos), divided
  • 8 oz soft Cream Cheese
  • 16oz Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted *
  • You Need:
  • Food Processor
  • Waxed Paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • Dipping Utensils - forks, toothpicks, fondue forks, etc.

Preparation

Step 1

Put 9 cookies in food processor and chop to fine crumbs; put them aside.

Step 2

Put remaining cookies in food processor and chop to fine crumbs; put them in a bowl. Add cream cheese and stir until mixed evenly. Roll the mix into 1" balls (approx. 40-42).

Step 3

Cover baking sheet with waxed paper. Using dipping forks, fondue forks or whatever utensil works for you, dip balls in chocolate and place them on baking sheet. If you have a small hole in the ball from the utensil, use your finger to dab a tiny bit of chocolate on it. With chocolate still wet, sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over top. Put them in the fridge for about an hour. Store them in fridge.

Step 4

Enjoy!

* To melt chocolate, make sure you use a double boiler - a pot with 3" of water in it simmering gently, with another smaller pot or heat safe bowl on top. Chocolate can burn easily - this way the steam from the bottom pot will melt the chocolate safely.

Change it up: Instead of having the leftover crumbs sprinkled on the balls, try using chocolate sprinkles!
