Oreo Balls Recipe

Ingredients
8 ounces softened cream cheese or whipped cream cheese
18 ounces package of Oreo cookies, crushed
2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening

Oreo Balls Recipe Instructions
Mix cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy.
Add the crushed Oreos and beat on high until well mixed.
Chill for at least 2 hours in the freezer.
Then roll Oreo cookie mix into one inch Oreo Balls.

Next, melt the chocolate chips and shortening with a double boiler or in the microwave.
Dip the Oreo balls completely into the melted chocolate using tongs or a toothpick.
Put on wax paper. After the Oreo balls harden, keep them in the refrigerator.
Makes about 3 or 4 dozen Oreo Balls, depending on the size
Oreo Balls Recipe Tips and Variations
Oreo Balls variations: Use melted almond bark or white chocolate chips instead of chocolate chips to dip the Oreo Balls.

Try different versions of sandwich cookies to make Oreo Balls- Oreo mint cookies, peanut butter sandwich cookies, or vanilla sandwich cookies are some delicious choices.
Don't use double stuffed Oreos for Oreo Balls. Be sure to use regular Oreo cookies.
To make the Oreo Balls a little less unhealthy, substitute low-fat Oreo cookies and low-fat cream cheese.
Don't skip the shortening. It makes the chocolate slightly thinner and smoother. It is much easier to use with the added shortening.
 
I've made these before and they turned out great. I used Baker's dipping chocolate to coat the Oreo balls. Rolled some in chocolate sprinkle, crushed unsalted nuts, and the rest in mini butterscotch chips.
 
Yes I am going to give them a try for the holidays.
I have about 17 or so to feed at my FIL's for Christmas so I appreciate easier candy recipes.
 
I too have had these janie, and they are really good!

Also- I've used these "truffles" to form borders around a chocolate layer-cake... talk about extra-fancy! :)
