Chocolate Dipped Oreo Balls

This recipe comes from a friend who makes these awesome little chocolate dipped morsels.  When I say awesome, I mean the entire family begs her to make them for any and every occasion.  Yes!  They are that good.  Did I mention that they are easy to make too?  You've just got to love this kind of recipe. (LOL)

Ingredients

1 package Oreo cookies

1- 8 oz package cream cheese (the block of cream cheese not the tubs)

1 pound DARK melting chocolate (Some stores now carry the microwave kind!)

Directions

1. Place cream cheese in a bowl to soften.
2. In a food processor, process a bag of Oreo cookies until all you have is Oreo cookie crumbs (no chunks!). 
3. Add the cookie crumbs to the softened cream cheese, then mix.
4. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
5. Make small bite sized balls and place on cookie sheet.
6. Chill for an at least 1 hour. This is a good place to stop if you want to chill the little tasty little treats overnight.
7. While the little balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in a double boiler.  If you were fortunate to find one of the microwavable melting chocolates, even better!
8. Dip chilled balls into melted chocolate, then place balls back on the wax paper and let harden.
9. Store covered balls in an air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Absolutely! I like Dark chocolate so I gravitate towards it. You can use milk chocolate of even white chocolate. I hope you enjoy! - Marie

Hey Marie,

Thanks so much for the awesome recipe ideas. Was wondering, can you substitute milk chocolate for dark choc?
