Oreo Ball Pops Recipe

I've made these a couple of times as both Oreo Ball Pops and Truffles for different parties and they've always been a success... I haven't gotten quite into the cute making of them other than doing fun colored chocolate but that's something fun you can try out. Anyways, here is the recipe:
  • 1 package mint Oreo cookies (or whatever flavor you want) 
  • 1 8oz package cream cheese softened
  • Almond bark (chocolate or white which ever you prefer) or I use the chocolates in the candy making section in Michael's a lot too since they're precolored and in a microwavable size :)
Put cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs. Mix in cream cheese. form into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Place in freezer  for about 1 hour. (If I am not ready to dip in chocolate, I put them in a ziploc bag at this point) 
Cut the almond bark into shavings and place in a microwaveable bowl. Start heating with 30 seconds, stir and then 15 second intervals until melted. Becareful not to over cook or it will harden and can not be remelted.
Place frozen balls, one at a time, into the chocolate. Remove with a fork onto wax paper and let chocolate harden. (I use sticks. it is much easier to dip that way)
