My dentist told me about these bad boys when she was filling my latest cavity (irony? I think so) and they sounded so disgustingly good I decided to find them on the Internet. And found them I did at Recipezaar.com.
Oreo Balls
- 1 package regular size Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 package white almond bark
- 1 package chocolate almond bark
Directions
- Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together. (I used my food processor. Trust me. Dust it off. It works awesomely.)
- Roll into walnut size balls.
- Chill for an hour.
- Melt approximately 3/4 package of white almond bark.
- Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white almond bark. (Did not have toothpick so used skewer from my grill set that I bought last year after Christmas. It worked awesomely.)
- Allow to harden on wax paper. This takes about 15 min.
- While waiting, melt about 1/4 package of chocolate almond bark.
- When Oreo balls are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate and white almond bark.
- I just use a sandwich bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner to drizzle the almond bark. (I accomplished this with a spoon.)

Shelley,
I am not kidding. I made these today. I've made them the past few years for Christmas, and as I was making them I thought..."Shelley could put this recipe on her blog, they are easy." Then tonight when I came on here...there they were. :) You were a few steps ahead of me! Aren't they awesome?!?!

Oh my...these even rival the chocolate covered peanut butter balls we had at the cookie party this weekend - peanut butter at least has a tiny bit of protein :)
Regan - these are soooo good and sooo easy. I think they'll be making an appearance at every Christmas. :)
And Paul - nothing rivals chocolate covered peanut butter balls. I think those are the bomb!
Ok, these also tasted great! I'm not sure what the consistancy of the actual oreo/cream cheese was suppose to look like. I let me childcare kids take a hammer to a bag of oreos and ended up with powder:) So the inside of my balls looked like raw cake batter, but they were sure yummy! We even did a batch using peanut butter oreos! I bet the mint would taste good also. Have you tried using the generic sandwich cookies? I thought about it but ended up chickening out. I also ran short of almond bark so I melted chocolate chips and this worked well and gave the balls a shinier appearance.
These are awesome, Shelley! I've made them for a few years...usually around Halloween so I can make them look like bloodshot eyeballs. So fun! I am loving your food blog!
