Peppermint-oreo Cookie balls

 

 

 

 

I got this recipe from Kraft foods. It is sooooo easy to make and will be a hit on both Thanksgiving as well as Christmas! All you need is 6 candy canes finely chopped(I put them in a zip lock bag and bang the you know what out of them.. lol great for holiday frustration)1 pkg of cream cheese softened, 1 pkg of oreos finely crushed(again.. pounded them in a large ziplock bag... great recipe if you want to pound things lol), 2 pkgs. of bakers chocolate(I used both white and dark choc.--- 1 pkg each).

Reserve 1 tbsp. chopped candy. Mix the remaining candy with cream cheese and cookie crumbs until well blended( i put in my kitchen aid mixer). Shape into balls and place in a wax paper lined pan. I used my tablespoon so they would all be about the same size. freeze for 10 min. while the cookie balls are in the freezer, Melt the chocolate(each brand will give you diff. instructions. I suggest you get a microwavable kind, it will make life MUCH easier). Place some of the candy canes on the top(as you see I only did it on the white chocolate), and refridgerate until ready to serve, but at least an hour. waaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllaaaaaa happy holidays!
