I call theses truffles in disguise. Easy to make and yummy in your tummy as my kids say.
Once you dip them in the white chocolate you can customize them with any holiday sprinkles to fit your occasion. Enjoy!Comments from the Test Kitchen:
What can I say, these are just plain addictive! Anyone can make these simple treats - kids, non-cooks, even bachelors! (It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes.) But don't plan on eating just one...
Directions
Add oreos to food processor and blend until fine.Add cream cheese to oreo crumbs and blend until dough-like.Chill mixture for 15 minutes then roll into bite-size balls. Chill balls for 15 minutes.Melt almond bark in microwave according to package directions. Dip chilled oreo balls in melted chocolate using fork so chocolate can "drip off". Set covered cookie balls onto waxed paper and let set aprox. 30 minutes. If using sprinkles or decorative sugars do so before chocolate sets. I usually do a dozen at a time sprinkling after each dozen.

I'm sorry to say I don't really have a secret. I just put the bark in a glass bowl and melt for 30 seconds then stir, then melt another 30 seconds stir and so on until it is completely melted. I have never had trouble with clumping at all. I think the bark melts smoother than chocolate chips and there is no need to use a double boiler. Good luck!

I make a lot of Christmas candies & have for years. When I make these I use chocolate almond bark & after melting in microwave, I add creme de menthe or peppermint oil & dip the balls in this. They taste just like Girl Scout "Thin Mints". I do as Shannon does on melting, Just be sure to melt a little longer if you want a thin icing & it also stays hot longer & doesn't clump up as quickly. Oh, I also add some parafin to chocolate when heating. Not only does it thin it out some, but keeps chocolate from melting as easy when touched. In other words "It melts in your mouth, not in your hands".

To answer Heather's question I am not sure what else you could use as a binder, but peanut butter & vanilla icing come to mind. Maybe you could do half cream cheese and half of one of those to disguise the cream cheese. I would also say they don't taste like cream cheese once made. If your husband isn't allegic you might just fool him. :)

To Heather: Don't tell him there is cream cheese in them. He will never know. There is absolutely no cream cheese taste. My husband hates cream cheese & he loves these.
To Erin: What you do is eat a few of the oreo cookies as you are grinding them; then the ratio is more correct & they will bind. I let my cream cheese set out to room temp. first. I don't refrigerate it before I make them into balls. I do after I make the balls to firm them up so I can dip them.
