By kdet

Ingredients

• makes 3 dozen
• 1 package Oreos, Mint Oreos or Nutter Butters (do not use double stuff Oreos)
• 1 8oz package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 16 oz semi-sweet chocolate (it is better to use a bar than chocolate chips as they do not melt very well)

Preparation

Step 1

Crumble the cookies into fine crumbs (or process in a food processor until very finely chopped). Mix with the cream cheese until well combined. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour. Roll into 1" balls and refrigerate again until well chilled.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave and dip the balls until completely covered. Set aside until chocolate is hardened
