CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO BALLS
Had these on Christmas Eve and thought Santa came early! Talk about simple - and sinful! These were extremely easy (and a lot of fun) to make. We used reduced fat ( ::gasp:: ) Oreos, and they were just as good. You could use low fat cream cheese as well. We also decided that covering the *entire* ball made them a bit too sweet (yes, I know - how can that be?!?). Next time, we will just dunk the bottoms in the chocolate. DH and I can't wait to try out different combinations: Peanut butter Oreos, mint Oreos, flavored chips, adding food coloring to white chocolate (for the holidays, game day, school colors, etc) - the creative possibilities are endless!

Steps:
- Crush the Oreos to bits, either in a processor or plastic bag. You don't want a powder, but you don't want chunks.
- Mix the room temperature, softened cream cheese and Oreo bits together. If you use a hand mixer, be prepared for the mixture to get "stuck" in the paddles. We finished off using a spatula.
- Roll mixture into bite-sized (large grape/chestnut) pieces.
- Chill the balls on waxed paper for about an hour, or until firm to the touch.
- Melt the (white) chocolate chips in double boiler or in the microwave as instructed by the packaging.
- Stick a toothpick in each ball, then dip into the melted the (white) chocolate. Spin/roll excess off (slowly).
- Optional - If you want to add additional decorations such as sprinkles, etc - now is the time to do it.
- Allow to harden on wax paper, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Optional - Drizzle with more chocolate and allow to harden again.
- Optional - Remove toothpick and refrigerate.

CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO BALLS
There is nothin' better than a chocolate covered oreo cookie ball! These oreo balls are rich and decadent. I may try using Neufchatel cream cheese the next time. I think, as with most of these cake pops, they taste better the next day or so. If they can last that long! :)

Steps:
- 1. In a food processor or blender, grind the oreo cookies until fine.
- 2. In a large bowl mix oreo crumbs, confectioners sugar and cream cheese using an electric mixer, until well blended.
- 3. Roll into walnut-sized balls, place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and refrigerate for an hour or when it is firm.
- 4. While you are waiting, bring water to a boil in a double boiler. Remove from heat and melt 3 to 4 chunks of chocolate bark, stirring constantly. Be sure that there are no lumps.
- 5. If you are making bonbons, stick a toothpick into the oreo ball and dip it into the melted chocolate bark.
- 6. Let the excess drip off and place onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper to set.
- 7. If you are using lollipop sticks, dip the tip of the stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into the oreo ball no more than half way.
- 8. Dip the oreo ball into the melted chocolate, be sure that you cover the base of the ball and 1/4 of an inch up the stick.
- 9. This helps secure the ball to the stick while the coating sets.
- 10. Gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to get the excess off.
- 11. Sprinkle candy or tiny candy decorations onto the oreo ball while it is still wet.
- 12. Place the oreo ball into a styrofoam block to dry and set.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly affect the taste of your Oreo balls. Use a good quality semisweet or dark chocolate that contains at least 60% cocoa solids.
- Keep the Oreo balls cold: Oreo balls are best when they are cold, so keep them refrigerated until you are ready to serve them. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
- Be patient: It takes time to make Oreo balls, so be patient and don't rush the process. Rushing will only lead to messy and unevenly coated balls.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can use a variety of toppings to decorate your Oreo balls, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or crushed cookies. Get creative and have fun!
