Time 45m

Yield 12 servings, 1 cookie ball each

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 maraschino cherries, divided
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (8.6 oz.) BAKER'S Chocolate Truffle Cookie Ball Kit

Steps:

  • Cut each of 2 cherries into 6 pieces; reserve for later use. Cut remaining cherries in half.
  • Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended. Shape into 12 (1-inch) balls, using a level tablespoon for each. Use your finger to press indentation into center of each cookie ball.
  • Insert a cherry half into each indentation; reroll ball to completely enclose cherry with cream cheese mixture. Place on a waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Microwave chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 30 seconds more; stir. Continue heating and stirring in 10-second increments until completely melted.
  • Dip each ball in chocolate using a fork, letting any excess drip back into the bowl; return to baking sheet. Top immediately with reserved cherry pieces and sprinkles. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
