Fantasy Oreo Balls
- 2 (16 ounce) packages Oreo cookies
- 16 ounces softened cream cheese (2 8 oz packages)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon mint extract (optional)
- 1 lb white almond bark
- 1 lb chocolate almond bark
- Let the cream cheese sit on the counter until it is room temperature.
- Put it in a bowl and mix in the extracts.
- Crush the oreos using a blender or food processor until they are the consistency of ground coffee.
- If you're REALLY a trooper -- some say it's better if you twist open each Oreo, scrape out the cream filling, and mix it into the softened cream cheese before crushing the cookies.
- I'll go THAT extra mile when I have a ring on my finger.
- Maybe.
- Until then -- it all goes in!
- By hand or using a hand held mixer, mix the crumbs and the cream cheese together.
- Tightly cover the bowl you mixed it in and refrigerate for about an hour.
- Take it out and roll the mixture into balls about 1 and 1/2 inch around -- or whatever size you'd like.
- Drop the balls onto wax paper and refrigerate another hour.
- Melt the white and chocolate bark separately right before you remove the formed balls from the fridge.
- Stick a toothpick into each ball and dip it into the bark to lightly coat.
- Make some white, make some black, make some a drizzly mix -- just have fun!
- It will take about 15-20 minutes for each coat of bark to harden -- so keep that in mind if you're drizzling white and then chocolate for decorative purposes.
