Oreo Balls

post-title

These are the easiest dessert ever, needing only three ingredients: Oreos, cream cheese, and melted chocolate. I first started making this recipe in high school as a sleepover snack. In college, I only had a microwave in my dorm, but MacGyvered the recipe by crushing the cookies by hand and commandeering the mini-fridge. Now, years later, I like to make them fancy-schmancy with two kinds of chocolate: semi-sweet and white. (But trust me, they taste just as good with one or the other.)

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • 36 oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 8 ounces (2 packages, 4 ounces each) baker's semi-sweet chocolate, broken into pieces, melted
  • 8 ounces (2 packages, 4 ounces each) baker's white chocolate, broken into pieces, melted

Directions

  1. Mix cream cheese and 3 cups cookie crumbs with spatula until blended.
  2. Using hands, shape into 48 balls about 1 inch in size. This is about 1 bite, so adjust accordingly if you'd like a heftier treat.
  3. Freeze for 10 minutes on wax paper-line cookie sheet.
  4. Coat half of the balls in melted semi-sweet chocolate and half in melted white chocolate. Place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan and sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
  5. Refrigerate or freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
