Oreo Balls

Oreo Balls.  A classic.  I have made these every year that I've been doing a holiday bake-a-thon.  They are so simple, yet so delicious.  They are always a hit!  Plus, if you make them small enough, they're really like Oreo vitamins so the calories don't count. 



Oreo Balls
Ingredients:
  • 1 package of Oreos, crushed (I recommend using a Ninja food processor...turns the cookies into dust in seconds)
  • 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, room temperature
  • 12-16 oz of chocolate, melted (I recommend Velata...yum!)  

Directions:
Mix together the crushed Oreos and cream cheese until well blended.  Put them in the fridge for a little bit, so it's easier to roll the dough into balls.  To make the balls, I use a teaspoon to scoop the dough out of the bowl with.  Then, I just roll it up.  After that's all done, I recommend putting the balls of dough back in the fridge for a little while to harden up again.  Melt your chocolate (be careful not to burn).  I recommend putting your melted chocolate into your Velata warmer to keep it melted and perfect for dipping (or else you get stuck having to re-heat your chocolate as it cools).  Drop the balls of dough into the chocolate and coat.  Use a couple of forks to pick them up and remove the excess chocolate.  Place on a baking sheet covered in waxed paper and let cool.  Enjoy!
