MAKES 15 balls

TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes

You can substitute 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips for the semisweet chocolate.

7

ounces (14 cookies) Oreo Cool Mint Crème Cookies

3

ounces cream cheese, softened

6

ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

tablespoons vegetable oil

1

tablespoon green sprinkles

1. Line large plate with parchment paper. Process Oreos in food processor until finely ground, about 1 minute. Stir cream cheese and processed Oreos together in bowl until uniform. Roll mixture into fifteen 1-inch balls and arrange on prepared plate. Freeze, uncovered, until firm, about 20 minutes.

2. Microwave chocolate and oil together in covered bowl, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.

3. Working with 1 ball at a time, use toothpick to pick up balls and dip into melted chocolate to coat, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Return balls to plate, remove toothpick, and immediately sprinkle with green sprinkles. Freeze, uncovered, until chocolate has hardened, about 10 minutes. Serve, or transfer to refrigerator until serving time.
