Dessert

We went to a pot luck / cook out on Sunday and while I brought something healthy (aka salad) I also brought something totally unhealthy and delicious. They seemed to be a hit (and Chris was sure to grab the leftovers, since we didn't have any at home, which is a good sign)

Let me present...
Oreo Balls



1 pkg. Oreos
1 8-oz pkg. cream cheese
1 pkg. almond bark (I used vanilla)

Twist Oreos and take apart.
Scrape cream from cookies and put into large bowl (I used my cuisinart mixer/bowl). Add cream cheese to the bowl and cream together the oreo cream and cream cheese.

Put remainder of cookies into a Ziploc and seal. Use a rolling pin to finely crush. (or use the food processor, which I did, worked SO well)

Add finely crushed cookies to the creamed mixture and stir.

Roll into 1-inch balls and chill (I let them chill in the fridge for a little over an hour).

Melt almond bark. (I did 10 oz of almond bark at a time, took about 2 and a half minutes in the microwave. I found that doing about half of the balls and dipping them at a time was a little less sloppy)

Dip cookie balls into almond bark and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (I used a metal toothpick for this, which worked awesome)

Makes about 3-4 dozen.

These definitely reminded me of cake balls and were fun to make.

PS I am not sure if it was the oreo balls or the baby, but I had to break out the bella band today with my work pants for the first time :)
