So Much Oreo

Over the course of a busy summer and a lot of random little things that I picked up, I learned how to make easy Oreo cake balls. While they sound a little strange, wait till you have one. They are pretty amazing. A more detailed recipe can be found here.

Stuff you need:

1 Package of Oreo cookies (Double-stuff, if possible)
3/4-1 packages of cream cheese, allow it to soften
1 package of white almond bark

Or one bag of small white chocolate chips

Stuff to do:
Put the Oreos into a food processor and crush. Don't worry if your machine begins to sound like it's dying. Put aside half of a cup and dump the rest into a big mixing bowl.

Put in an entire stick of cream cheese and mix well. If the mixture doesn't seem wet enough, use more cream cheese. This mixture should have a consistency that will allow you to mold it into small spheres. If you think it keeps the ball shape, then you have put in enough cream cheese.

Yay, time to get your hands dirty. Roll the mixture into equal bite-sized shaped balls. Put them on a cookie sheet or container that will fit in your freezer/fridge.

Freeze for 1-2 hours before dipping in melted chocolate. We stuck toothpicks into each cake ball before dipping it in melted chocolate. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a little electric melting pot. After having a little trouble with the microwaving (apparently it is possible to burn white chocolate with a microwave), I've learned that only heating a small amount of chocolate at a time is best, as it will not harden while you are dipping.

As you finish dipping, put each beautiful (yay), dipped Oreo cake ball on a aluminum foil lined pan, preventing any sticking to the pan. Sprinkle each Oreo cake ball with the little Oreo mixture that you set aside earlier. And there you have it. They look delicious. And they are.

Enjoy!

Thanks
