Preparation

Step 1

Place Oreos in a food processor, pulse until it makes crumbs. Add in the cream cheese and pulse until combined.
You can use a scoop like I did or you hands and place about a tsp of the Oreo mixture in the Tablespoon sized scoop, smushing it so it goes up the sides and makes a little cup. Place a cherry in the center. Place some more of the cookie mixture around the stem on top and press to enclose the cherry. Take the cookie ball out of the scoop and round it out with your hands.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone make. Place in freezer for one hour to set.
Melt chocolate in microwave or double boiler. Dip cookie balls into mixture, tapping on the side of the bowl to get as much of the chocolate off as possible. Place back on the lined cookie sheet. Immediately top with sprinkles if desired.
Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes for the chocolate to harden. Serve and enjoy!
