Equipment
- 1 Food processor optional
Ingredients
- 15.35 oz Double Stuf Oreos You need about 25 from the package.
- 8 oz Cream cheese softened
- 12 oz Green melting chocolate candies or use almond bark with a bit of green food coloring
- 48 Heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Using a food processor or a Ziplock bag with rolling pin, crush the Oreos until finely ground.
- In a second mixing bowl, blend up softened cream cheese. Mix in the crushed Oreos. Stir well until all the crumbs are coated.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a heaping teaspoon - divide the dough equally to create small balls and roll between the palms of your hands to round out the edges as best as possible. Set on a piece of parchment. Continue until all the dough is shaped.
- Place the sheet of parchment on a cutting board or sheet pan that will fit in the freezer. Freeze for 1 hour to solidify the dough balls.
- Pour candy into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, then remove and stir well. Repeat the heating and stirring process until the candy is completely melted.
- Remove cookie balls from the freezer, and dip them into the melted candy, coating the entire ball. Place the candy coated cookie ball on parchment paper to set.
- Before the candy coating sets, add one red heart sprinkle to the top of each ball.
- Once you have coated all of the cookie balls with melted candy and placed sprinkles on them, refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the candy coating to set.
