Ingredients:
– 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 12 oz semi-sweet or white chocolate, melted

Directions:
Crush the Oreos:
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Make the Oreo Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well blended and smooth.

Coat with Chocolate:
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to fully coat. Tap off excess chocolate and place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate and Chill:
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each ball with holiday sprinkles for a festive touch.
