Christmas Oreo Balls
The holidays are ALL about the sweets! One of my favorite things to make is Oreo balls. They are really simple to make, and so delicious! If you're needing a quick treat to make that is festive and yummy, then this is for you! Ingredients: 1 package of Oreos (approx. 36 cookies) 1 8 oz. package of cream cheese (softened) 1 package of vanilla candy coating Wax paper Optional: Sprinkles 1. Gather all your ingredients. This is a time-sensitive recipe because of working with the candy coating.
2. Place entire package of Oreos in a blender, and blend until the Oreos have a fine consistency.
3. Add entire package of cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. It is best to cut up the cream cheese into smaller pieces so it blends easier. Then blend until a smooth consistency.
4. When you are done mixing, place wax paper on a baking sheet. Scoop small balls of the Oreo mixture onto the pan. I used a small scoop that made the perfect shape. When you are done, put the tray of the Oreo balls into the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will help them firm up, and not fall apart when you dip them.
5. When the balls feel firm, it is time to warm your candy coating in the microwave. It is better to melt the coating in a glass bowl, so it is easier to dip.
6. Place a sheet of wax paper onto the counter to put the Oreo balls on after you dip. I use a fork to dip them, and let the ball slide off the fork. For a festive touch, you can add sprinkles! The dipped Oreo balls cool relatively fast, so if you decide to put sprinkles on you have to do it right after you place the ball on the wax paper. The whole dipping process can be quite messy, but that's what makes them homemade!
7. Grab a festive plate or container to place them on and ENJOY!
