Easy to make and hard to resist!
What you need:
- One package of Oreo cookies
- One 16 oz. package of cream cheese softened
- White chocolate bark (and dark chocolate if you'd like)
- Large bowl for mixing
- Microwave safe bowl for melting chocolate bark
What you do...
Crush the entire package of Oreos. I use my hand-dandy Pampered Chef chopper and crush 2-3 cookies at a time into a crumbly dry mixture leaving a few small pieces of cookie. Dump the crushed cookies into the large mixing bowl. While you're crushing these cookies leave the cream cheese out to soften.
Once the cookies are all crushed up you'll need to cut the cream cheese into small chunks and drop into the dry cookie mix. If you can recruit some help, like I did, I find that a cute little elf and a loving husband always make this project more fun :) The next step is fun but a little more messy...using your hands, you will mix the softened cream cheese into the dry cookie crumbles so that it's mixed well.
Then, roll the dough into small, bite-sized bites and place on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet...
Place the cookie sheet filled with the balls in the fridge to chill for an hour . Then, after that hour you will melt 1-2 pieces of white (or chocolate) bark in a microwave safe bowl. I usually microwave for about 30 seconds, stir, then microwave again for another 30 seconds. You may need to repeat that step depending on the power of your microwave.
Once the chocolate bark is melted you'll take one ball and roll around in the melted chocolate until completely covered. Then, set back on the cookie sheet. Continue covering each chocolate ball until they are all covered in melted chocolate and cooling on the cookie sheet. Put back in the fridge over night. Serve chilled. Depending upon the size of the balls you roll you could easily have 40-50 pieces and make wonderful gifts. Enjoy!
