8 ounces softened cream cheese OR whipped cream cheese
1 (18 oz) package oreo cookies, crushed
2 cups semisweet OR milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
mix cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. add the crushed oreos and beat on high speed until well mixed. chill for at least 2 hours in the freezer.
roll oreo cookie mixture into 1" balls.
next, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or in the microwave.
dip the oreo balls completely into the melted chocolate using tongs or a toothpick.
put on wax paper. after the oreo balls harden, keep them in the refrigerator.
make about 3 or 4 dozen oreo balls, depending on the size
NOTE: I attempted to make these in a "too hot" kitchen with "too warm" hands and experienced EPIC FAILURE! That was the one and only time this recipe failed.
