Description

Ingredients

• 36 OREO cookies {1 package}
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 36 maraschino cherries, drained and dried
• 10 ounces almond bark
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• various holiday themed sprinkles

Directions

• In a food processor, blend cookies until they become a fine crumb.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs and cream cheese until fully mixed.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disc. Place a cherry in the center and wrap the dough around the cherry fully covering it. Roll the dough into a tight ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat for the rest of the dough.
• Chill the cookie balls in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Chop the almond bark into small pieces. In a microwave safe dish (like a Pyrex measuring glass), add the almond bark and oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until fully melted.
• Use a skewer to pierce the cookie ball and dip it at an angle into the melted candy. Tap the skewer on the side of the glass to gently remove excess candy.
• Place the cookie ball on a new wax lined baking sheet and immediately top with holiday sprinkles. Repeat for the remaining cookie balls, decorating each one after you dip it.
• Chill the cookie balls in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
