Balls, of the Oreo variety!

haha, that title made you think didn't it?  I'm being slightly more domesticated as usual today & make these wonderful treats.  I tried them a few months ago when I was at my moms & decided that they could easily be a staple in my life, which is funny because I don't like oreos, or chocolate for that matter.  Anywho, as I'm typing my balls (hehe) are in the refrigerator chilling before I dip them in chocolate.  Want to make them?  You need:

• package of oreos (I used original, I'm sure you could go crazy & choose another variety)
• 8oz cream cheese
• package of almond bark (or other dipping chocolate)

what to do:

1. twist apart all the oreos, & scrape cream into a bowl, place cookies to the side
2. put cookies into a ziploc bag & crush with rolling pin (I don't have one, I used a meat hammer) to fine crumbs
3. cut up the cream cheese into chunks & put in bowl with oreo cream, blend with mixer
4. add the oreo crumbs into cream/cream cheese mix, blend well
5. make about 1" round balls & place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.  Then chill to harden so they're easy to dip
6. melt chocolate (once hardened) to dip oreo balls in, then dip!  Place back into refrigerator to cool.

**this made 52 balls for me, its supposed to make 36-48 round treats but I guess you can get more or less depending on the size & how well you crumble the cookies.

Next, I think I'm going to try this with chips ahoy cookies.  I don't feel like there was enough of the oreo cream to really make a difference in taste. I may do a pack & 1/2 for good measure.
