This recipe was shared by Barbara Gugel.

Ingredients:
1 package Oreo cookies
1 package cream cheese
1 package Almond Bark (or any melted chocolate)

Directions:
Crush entire box of Oreo cookies. A food processor
works well for this or you can place them in a plastic
ziplock bag and use a hammer. Mix Oreos with cream
cheese then roll into balls.

Melt chocolate. Dip balls into chocolate and place on
wax paper to cool. Store in refrigerator.

You can make these with any variation of Oreos. The
vanilla Oreos are delicious with white chocolate!
