details
- Makes about 40 balls
- Prep time: 30 minutes
- Total time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
- 1 package Mint Oreo cookies
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (regular or low-fat), room temperature
- 2 (8 ounces) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
directions
Line two large baking sheets with either wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
Place the cookies in a food processor and process to a fine powder. Add the cream cheese and process until thoroughly combined.
Roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1-inch round. Place the balls on the lined baking sheets and freeze for about 20 minutes.
After the balls are done freezing, melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips for 45-60 seconds, then check and stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted.
With a slotted spoon, fork, or wooden skewer, dip each ball into the chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl, and place the balls back onto the lined baking sheets.
Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
Notes:
- If you do not have a food processor, you could mash the cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Then place the crumbs in a large bowl with the softened cream cheese, mix thoroughly with your hands or wooden spoon.
- You could also use regular Oreo cookies, if you’re not fond of mint.
- Milk chocolate or white chocolate would also be equally delish.
