I wanted to make a different dessert this year for Thanksgiving. Something bite size, but not a traditional cookie. So, I decided to make Oreo balls.
They are very simple to make and a kid friendly recipe.
Ingredients:
1 package regular Oreos
1 8oz package of cream cheese
2 cups chocolate chips
Here are the step by step instructions:
 |
| Put all the cookies in a gallon ziplock bag. |
 |
| Crush cookies with a rolling pin. Make sure you have removed the air from the ziplock bag. I hit the cookies with the rolling pin to really crush them. |
 |
| After the cookies are crushed, cube the cream cheese and add to the bag. Knead the bag to mix the cream cheese and the cookies. |
 |
| This is what it should look like once mixed, a cookie dough consistency. |
 |
| Pinch off the dough and roll into 1 inch balls. Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper or parchment paper. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the balls are firm. |
 |
| Measure 2 cups of chocolate chips. Place in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 second intervals. Stir and repeat heating until all the chips are melted. |
 |
| Using toothpicks, roll the balls in the melted chocolate. |
 |
| Place coated balls back in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate. Once hardened, place into a container and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. |
Very rich and delicious!
