Oreo Balls

My (Mama's) friend, Megan, turned me on to Oreo Balls. They are one of the tastiest treats I have made. They took me awhile to prepare. However, I am a perfectionist and I like to change things up from original recipes sometimes. For instance, when it says in #1 to use a blender or hand held mixer-I would rather beat the Oreos to death and mash them up in a zip lock back with a rolling pin. Very therapeutic! Also, I enjoyed wearing baker's gloves and smushing up the cream cheese in the Oreos with my hands. I think it made a better filling. Just FYI. Be careful not to make the hole in the zippy for the drizzle too big. The smaller you can get the hole, the prettier the drizzle turns outs. Have fun making these little, rich bites. They are good for any season. You could decorate them any way you please for any occasion!

Ingredients:

1 pkg regular size Oreo cookies, crushed

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 pkg white almond bark

1 pkg chocolate almond bark

Directions:

1.  Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together.

2.  Roll into walnut size balls.

3.  Chill for an hour.

4.  Melt approximately 3/4 package of white almond bark.

5.  Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white bark.  (I used Wilton's candy dipping tools for this step instead of a toothpick.)

6.  Allow to harden on wax paper, for about 15 minutes.

7.  While waiting, melt about 1/4 pkg of chocolate almond bark.

8.  When Oreo balls are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate and white almond bark.  Use a sandwich bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner to drizzle the almond bark.  

*I dipped some balls in the chocolate bark and drizzled with white bark to change it up a bit.  Enjoy!
