Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls

Oh. My. Goodness!

When I made these Oreo balls I had no idea that they were going to disappear so fast!

The kids were all over them...scarfing them down like they had never eaten before. It was craziness, I tell you! :)

The great thing about these little treats is that, not only are they yummy, they're very pretty.

They work just as well on a nice party table as they do as a sweet treat for the kiddos.

To Make these Oreo Balls You'll Need:

• One (18-oz.) package Oreos
• One (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (12-oz.) package chocolate chips
• A dollop of vegetable shortening
• White chocolate (optional)

Instructions:

• Crush the Oreos until they're fine and crumbly.
• Combine the cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese, mixing well. Roll into one-inch balls.
• Place on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until well chilled.
• Place the chocolate chips and the shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until melted, stirring in between increments.
• Place the balls on a fork, one at a time, and dip into the chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off of the balls through the fork; place the balls back onto the cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate for one hour, or until chocolate has set.
• If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate.
• Serve in cute little mini cupcake liners and enjoy! :)
