This is one of the most requested treats that has made its way out of my kitchen. Everyone that has tasted them wants more and every year I get asked hundreds of times when I am making them again. For them to be so good yet so easy is almost sinful.

Oreo Balls

1 package Oreo cookies

1 package (8 oz) cream cheeese

Almond Bark

Oreo balls ingredients

Crush up your Oreo  cookies very fine. I use a food processor for this step but if you don’t have one you will need to put your cookies in a sealable bag and hammer the heck out of them.

You will then add your softened cream cheese to the crushed cookies. I use my hands to mush it all together until you have a dough. Once you have it mixed really well shape a spoonful into bite-sized balls.

While all of this is happening you want to have your almond bark melting in a double boiler or whatever you have. I don’t have a double boiler so I make my own by placing a glass bowl on top of a pan with some water in the bottom pan. I keep mine on about medium heat to keep the almond bark from scorching.

Then dip each ball into the melted almond bark until it is totally coated. I use a toothpick to dunk mine and pull them out. Once you have them all dipped and they have completely set you will want to store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Mmmm, these don’t last long at all at my house so I have to make a TON! But one batch will make about 60-70 balls.

I am tellin you what, I made these sinful little buggers and now I can’t seem to stay away from them. Somebody is going to have to come get them before I am as big as the side of a barn. There are only about 50 left. When can you be here???

What am I talking about? THESE:

Oreo Balls

The most sinful awful creation know to man. Seriously, they are. I am not kidding at all. They melt in your mouth and are all chocolaty and creamy and gooey and delicious.

I now need the top rated diet pill on the market.

I would tell you how to make them but then you will need an intervention.

Ok, so misery loves company, I am going to tell you just for spite.

Oreo Balls

1 package regular Oreos

1 package Cream Cheese

Melting Chocolate

Crush up the oreo’s in a food processor and add the cream cheese. Make small balls out of the dough and refrigerate for at least an hour. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Dip each ball in the chocolate and let cool.

Yes, they are really that easy. I store mine in the fridge due to the fact that they have cream cheese in them. But I will seriously let you have them all if you will come get them. If I don’t answer the door, check me for a diabetic coma.

White Chocolate Oreo Fudge

This week is spent busily making all the goodies that will be consumed by family and friends as they visit and celebrate on Christmas Day. I had posted on Facebook that I was making Oreo Fudge and several people have requested the recipe….

White Chocolate Oreo Fudge Recipe

• 2 1/2 C sugar
• 1/2 C butter (use real butter, this is no time to worry about fat!)
• 2/3 C evaporated milk
• 2 cups (~7 oz) marshmallow creme
• Bag of white chocolate chips (10-12 ounces, depends on brand)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 16 Oreo cookies broken into large pieces (roughly fourths, don’t use double stuff)
Line 9X13″ pan with aluminum foil and butter. In saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and milk and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly (do not burn!). Allow to boil for 3 minutes at a full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add in marshmallow creme, white chocolate chips, and vanilla. Stir until well incorporated. Pour half of mixture into the foil lined pan and sprinkle cookie pieces evenly over the bottom layer of fudge. Pour remaining half of fudge over top and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
Remove from pan by lifting foil, and peel away foil. Using a sharp knife, cut into small squares. Store in an air-tight container.

This recipe is so easy that there is no need for an online degree and it is sure to impress your friends and family with your skills. Just remember it is super rich…so even though you will be tempted to cut it into larger squares…DON”T.

Ok, The Princess came home with this recipe. I am going now to buy diet pills and I recommend you do the same. Every year I say the same thing…I am not making any more candies and goodies during the holidays than I already do…and every year…I make new things. Decadent new things. Things that make me want to sit and lick the bowl and eat every concoction we have just created. I don’t see this year as being any different. Please pray I can still fit through my front door on Jan 2nd.  For now, I give you Chocolate Covered Oreo Cream Cheese Truffles:


1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 squares each) Baker’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted


MIX 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.

DIP balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored in tightly covered container at room temperature and saved for another use.) Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator. (yeah, like there will be leftovers, who do these people think we are? Self Controlled?)
