Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 36 OREO cookies finely crushed (about 3 cups)
- 4 large candy canes finely chopped (~⅓ cup), divided
- 16 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate melted
- 10 oz. Wilton white candy melts melted
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese, cookie crumbs and all but 2 Tbsp of candy canes until blended. (Note: Remaining 2 Tbsp of candy canes will be used as garnish later.)
- Shape mixture into 48 (1-inch) balls. Freeze balls for 10 minutes.
- Dip balls in melted chocolate; place in single-layer on a shallow wax paper-lined pan. (See note.)
- Place melted candy melts in piping bag or small sandwich bag with one corner cut off. Drizzle tops of balls with candy melts. Sprinkle tops with remaining candy canes.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm. Keep refrigerated.
Notes
For best results, use a food processor to crush the OREO cookies.
To coat cookie balls with melted chocolate, place 4-5 balls in bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Use forks to remove balls and let excess chocolate drop back into bowl. Place balls on wax paper-lined pan.
