What: Oreo Balls
Rating: 8
Non-Quantifiable Rating: I dare you to try eating only 700 of them.
Umm, I triple-checked this recipe to make sure there isn't some kind of illegal addictive substance involved. It appears to be totally legal, but it probably shouldn't be. The only reason this didn't get a 9 or a 10 is because they're kind of a pain to decorate, but it's worth it. Consider this an alternative to those wonky Valentines hearts with words on them.
OREO BALLS (adapted from recipezaar.com)
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 package regular Oreos, crushed (I used my food processor but I bet a blender or an angry fork would work)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 package white almond bark
- 1 package chocolate almond bark
- Sprinkles or festive frosting (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1) Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together.
2) Roll into walnut size balls, and chill for an hour or so.3) Melt approximately 3/4 package of white almond bark.
4) Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white almond bark.
5) Allow to harden on wax paper (takes about 15 minutes).
6) While waiting, melt about 1/4 package of chocolate almond bark.
7) 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).
