CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO BALLS image

There is nothin' better than a chocolate covered oreo cookie ball! These oreo balls are rich and decadent. I may try using Neufchatel cream cheese the next time. I think, as with most of these cake pops, they taste better the next day or so. If they can last that long! :)

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg 18 oz. oreos, finely ground
1/2 c confectioners' sugar
1 pkg 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 pkg chocolate bark

Steps:

  • 1. In a food processor or blender, grind the oreo cookies until fine.
  • 2. In a large bowl mix oreo crumbs, confectioners sugar and cream cheese using an electric mixer, until well blended.
  • 3. Roll into walnut-sized balls, place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and refrigerate for an hour or when it is firm.
  • 4. While you are waiting, bring water to a boil in a double boiler. Remove from heat and melt 3 to 4 chunks of chocolate bark, stirring constantly. Be sure that there are no lumps.
  • 5. If you are making bonbons, stick a toothpick into the oreo ball and dip it into the melted chocolate bark.
  • 6. Let the excess drip off and place onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper to set.
  • 7. If you are using lollipop sticks, dip the tip of the stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into the oreo ball no more than half way.
  • 8. Dip the oreo ball into the melted chocolate, be sure that you cover the base of the ball and 1/4 of an inch up the stick.
  • 9. This helps secure the ball to the stick while the coating sets.
  • 10. Gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to get the excess off.
  • 11. Sprinkle candy or tiny candy decorations onto the oreo ball while it is still wet.
  • 12. Place the oreo ball into a styrofoam block to dry and set.
