these were so easy and so yummy. i have done a lot of work with chocolate before. so here is a tip: freeze the balls after shaping them for a little. then melt the white chocolate on a low temp and add just a little bit of oil to it. this will also help make them shiney!

Outstanding and very easy recipe. Next time I will try it with reduced fat cream cheese and 8 oz instead of 6 oz. Other Oreo cookie ball recipes call for 8 oz - I wondered why this one didn;t use 8 oz?? Another tip for dipping - use a plastic fork with the middle tines removed. SUPER easy with little mess.
