Oreo Balls

I got this one from Robin!

Oreo Balls

Ingredients:
1 pkg oreo cookies
1 cont. whipped cream cheese
1 pkg. almond bark - white

Finely crush oreos in a food processor.  Put crushed oreos and cream cheese in a bowl and mix together (this takes a little squishing and maneuvering).  Use hands to make oreo/cream cheese mixture into little balls.  Place the balls on cookie sheet and put in fridge for a couple of minutes.  Put 1/2 of the almond bark into a microwavable bowl and microwave until melted and smooth (took mine about 1.5 min.).  Drop oreo/cream cheese balls into almond bark a few at a time, use two forks to cover balls with almond bark and then transfer to a wax paper lined cookie sheet.  When you run out of almond bark melt the rest.  Place oreo balls in the fridge until cold and set.

Our Review:  These are SO yummy, my favorite!
