Oreo Balls

Ushir had been bugging me for weeks about making oreo balls for him to take to work.  I finally made them for him, and of course they were a big hit at work.  =]    So the thing with oero balls is that they are REALLY difficult to make. There's the oreos, the cream cheese and the almond bark.

First, you crush the oreos in a food processor then mix in the cream cheese. It works best if you use your hands.


Next, you roll the mixture into balls(or whatever shape you want, i guess.)  Refrigerate for an hour to let them firm up.



Next is the almond bark. I melt it in the microwave, mixing it every 20-30 seconds.  Now all that's left is to dip the oreo balls into the almond bark and let them sit and dry on wax paper.  See, SO HARD!




My next big "creation" is Aarons 1st birthday!  I've got to start planning his Elmo cake! Stay tuned =]

  2. I love that idea.. I have yet to make a cake ball, but I think I may try these! One very silly question, could I use white chocolate to dip them in? By the way, I found your blog from your CC post :)

  3. I have used white chocolate before, when I couldn't find almond bark, and it work fine. BUT, it doesn't taste as good. =]
