Cooking, Oreo Balls

WARNING:  These are messy to make, irresistible to eat. 

My mother-in-law gave me the recipe for Oreo Balls.  THANKS MOM! :) All you need are three ingredients: Bag of Oreos, 8oz cream cheese room temperature, and one pound of dark melted chocolate.

The front three Oreo balls are the end result.  The back ones still need to be  chocolate covered.

Crush the whole bag of Oreos with a soup can or rolling pin in a bag.  You want the texture to be crumbs NOT dust.  Take room temperature cream cheese and mix/mold it together.  I always have to use my hands so wash them before doing this.    

Once you have your mixture, roll it into golf size (or smaller) balls.  Put them on a cookie sheet and place them in the freezer for 20 minutes. 

I put 1/3 of a lb of chocolate in the microwave for one minute. Mix it, and when you need more chocolate only do 1/3 of a pound at a time.  This keeps it from over cooking. 

Use a skewer and a spoon to apply the melted chocolate. Set them back on the cookie sheet and let them turn hard in the fridge for ten minutes.  I always store the Oreo balls in Tupperware in the fridge to keep them fresh.
