\"Oreo4\"<\/a>So I overheard my brother-in-law raving about these 'Oreo balls' at Thanksgiving and had to google them to see what they were all about.<\/p>\n

The ingredient list was super simple and sounded pretty tasty so I made them for our staff Christmas party this year… and they were a BIG hit!<\/p>\n

So here's what you need: <\/p>\n

1 package of original Oreos<\/p>\n

1- 8 oz bar of cream cheese  <\/p>\n

1 bag of white chocolate chips + 1 tbls of shortening<\/p>\n

First crush the oreos into fine crumbs.\"Oreo3\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Whip up the cream cheese it becomes fluffy.\"Oreo2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Hand mix in the crushed Oreos and roll 1 inch balls and place them on wax paper. (makes 20-30 balls)  Place in fridge or freezer for a bit.\"Oreo1\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Melt the chocolate & shortening in the microwave and dip the balls in the chocolate.  I chose not to completely cover them because they are already sinfully rich.  Place in fridge or freezer to set.\"Oreo5\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Store in fridge and serve them up.  Since they are so rich, they're perfect to package like candies and treat your office mates & neighbors.<\/p>\n

There are also lots of variations you could put together by using different sandwich cookies or chocolates.  Be creative!<\/p>\n
