Hubby's favorite Oreo Balls

As most of you know, my husband's birthday was two days ago. Every year I ask him what kind of dessert he would like me to make him, and he always says "those oreo ball things." Well his wish is my command. (Only on this day ;) )

I hesitated to post this recipe because it is seriously one of the easiest things to make, but if you don't know what these are or have never heard of them, Let me open your eyes to *singing* a whole new world....* hehe

With Thanksgiving being tomorrow I figured sharing this today would be the best idea. If you need one more dessert for tomorrow, this is a great last minute sweet treat to throw together in no time!

-----OREO BALLS (OREO TRUFFLES) ----


1 package oreos (or approx 36 of any offbrand chocolate sandwich cookies work too)
1 package of cream cheese, at room temp
1 1/2 cups melting chocolate (here I use white chocolate, but any chocolate works)

Put cookies in a gallon ziplock pag and crush cookies. I used a hammer........... but you can use whatever you have handy. And if you have a food processor, then definitely use that!

Once cookies are crushed, pour them into a mixing bowl with your room temperature cream cheese, and mix. Mix until well incorporated, and refidgerate for about 20 mins, just for everything to set.



Take cookie mixture out, and roll into ping pong size balls, place on a parchment paper lined tray.
Melt your chocolates, 30 seconds at a time in the microwave, keep an eye on it, you wouldn't want to burn it!




Then drop your Oreo balls into the chocolate and completely cover the ball, and remove with a fork. I find using a fork easiest, because the excess chocolate runs thru the prongs. Place chocolate covered oreo ball on parchment lined tray, repeat process until finished.


Once the chocolate is set and hard, these babies are ready to eat! I like to refridgerate mine for about an hour before we eat them, but that's just me!

I hope y'all enjoy these as much as we do! They really are delicious, I wouldn't share them with you if they weren't :)

TTFN!
