I discovered these at one of this year's many family Christmas parties My husband's cousin brought them. I had made the cake balls and thought they were the same thing at first, but was delighted to find that they were slightly different. While we like both the cake balls/pops are still our favorite. The look is very similar, however these are a nice variation and faster to make.
8 ounces softened cream cheese or whipped cream cheese
18 ounces package of Oreo cookies, crushed
2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
*Use a good-quality chocolate chips. The taste and quality of these truffles are dependent on the quality of chocolate you start with.
Mix cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add the crushed Oreos and beat on high until well mixed. Chill for at least 2 hours in the freezer. Then roll Oreo cookie mix into one inch Oreo Balls.
Next, melt the chocolate chips and shortening with 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. Makes about 3 or 4 dozen Oreo Balls, depending on the size
