One of my favorite parts of the holidays are the baked goods and homemade candies. Who doesn’t love chocolate covered goodies? My new favorite are Oreo Cookie Balls, a blend of crushed Oreo Cookies and cream cheese covered in chocolate.
They almost remind me of bite sized Oreo Cheesecakes, yumm!
We made these and decorated them to look like Christmas ornaments, this would be such a fun holiday project to work on with the kids. We put silver candies on top and used icing to decorate them.
AJ wins the award for best designs, I’m seriously terrible about decorating anything with icing.
If you have leftover melted chocolate and extra OREO Cookies (we did since we bought two packages, see it’s a great idea!) you can also make some chocolate covered OREO Cookies, because, why not?
