Oreo Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 package of regular oreos
• 8 oz. whipped cream cheese
• 2 cups white chocolate chips or white almond bark
• 1 tbsp. shortening

Instructions:

• Place the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.
• Place the oreos in a food processor or blender and crush completely.
• Place the crushed oreos in the bowl with the cream cheese and mix using an electric mixer until well mixed.
• Place the mix in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

~Do a little dance while the time passes~

• Melt the shortening and white chocolate chips or almond bark using a double boiler system.
• While the chocolate is melting, take the oreo/cream cheese mixture out of the fridge and roll into 1 inch balls.
• Once the chocolate is melted dip the oreo balls in completely and place on wax paper or aluminum foil to set. (I have found that using a spoon to drop and roll the oreo balls in the chocolate is the easiest.)
• Let the covered oreo balls set for 1-2 hours. Once they are hardened place them in a container and put them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Variations:

• Use different versions of the oreo – mint, peanut butter, vanilla cookie/chocolate frosting.
• Use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips.
• Make healthier by using low fat cream cheese and low fat oreos.
