Last Minute Christmas Treats: Oreo Balls

If you have never had these, you are going to curse my name for introducing you to them. These things are so easy and so sinful. There really should be a law against them. I had them at a recent Christmas get-together and ate about 84 of them. Luckily a pregnant friend was there, so I felt obligated to share them with her.



They are so good. Seriously, what else would make a five year old boy make this face?

You need three ingredients:

One package of Oreo Cookies

1 package of cream cheese

Chocolate or white bark for dipping



Start by pulverizing crushing the Oreos in a food processor or blender.

Great job for the kids. I cut up the cream cheese into five chunks and tossed them into the processor. When it is all purred, it should look something like this:

Pop it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. Or overnight if you are me and forgot about it.



Time to roll the dough into balls and place on parchment paper. Or foil if you are out of paper like I am. Great timing to run out of parchment paper. Also, another great kid activity.





I put the cookie tray of balls in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes.



Then it was time for dipping. I melted white bark. Now some folks might say to add a tablespoon of crisco. I didn't and it worked just fine.

The kids added "sparkles" as the bark was hardening.



And then it was time for samples!

We are all addicted.
