Oreo Balls


1 Package Oreo Cookies (3-row package)
8 oz Cream Cheese
1 Package Almond Flavored White Chocolate Bars (I use regular white chocolate to avoid nut allergy issues) -  (use cheap chocolate as it usually gets creamier - don't use the expensive stuff)

Grind up the cookies in a food processor (including filling).  Then mix thoroughly with room temperature cream cheese (use hand mixer).  Roll into small balls and then freeze (at least 1-2 hours - overnight is fine too).  Microwave the chocolate on 1/2 power in 1 minute intervals until creamy and smooth (stir in-between heatings).  I melt typically 1 package at a time.  Dip and roll the frozen balls into the melted chocolate.  I use the small cocktail forks (toothpicks work too) to roll and pick up so I don't get fingerprints all over them.   (You can also dip the bottom half, then take a fork and drizzle chocolate on the tops).

Place on wax paper and let cool (about 10-15 minutes).  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Batch makes about 30-35 depending on how big you make them - I usually double the recipe and make a bunch.
