Oreo Cookie Balls

This is the first year for this treat. They are really good. A little mint Oreo cookie ball, but the mint isn't overpowering. It is just right. However, I couldn't find Almond Bark, so I used Ghiradelli's Peppermint Bark. So, instead of a nice white chocolate coating mine was a light brown, but it's all good. They are just as yummy. If you wanted, you could even use a bag of white chocolate chips and add 1 tsp. of peppermint extract. This one will definitely make an appearance on next year's Christmas treat tray.



1 pkg. Oreo cookies
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
4 oz. White chocolate almond bark (or 1 pkg white chocolate chips with 1 tsp. peppermint extract; I used Ghiradelli's Peppermint Bark so instead of a white coating they are in a light brown coating)

1. Process cookies until fine crumbs in food processor.
2. Add cream cheese and blend until dough-like.
3. Chill for 15 minutes. Roll into 1" balls and chill for another 15 minutes.
4. Melt chocolate. Dip chilled balls in chocolate to coat. Set on waxed paper to set, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with sprinkles before set, if desired (I used red, green and white jimmies).

2-3 dozen (I got almost 5 dozen)
