Oreo Bonbons

Directions

1. 1
   Crush whole oreos into a fine, crumbly powder. A food processor works best, but can also be done in a zip bag with a rolling pin.
2. 2
   Throughly mix cream cheese into oreo crumbs. Mixture will be very thick and sticky.
3. 3
   Chill until cold in refrigerator.
4. 4
   Roll dough into balls about the diameter of a quarter.
5. 5
   Chill again in freezer.
6. 6
   Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or small crock pot for dipping.
7. 7
   Remove a few balls at a time from the freezer and dip one at a time into the melted chocolate. This can be done using a toothpick inserted in the center, or I like to use two kabob skewers and use them to lift the balls out of the chocolate. Place on a wax paper covered baking sheet. Dipping is easiest if balls are cold.
8. 8
   Top with sprinkles appropriate for the holiday or occasion soon after dipping, and before chocolate hardens.
9. 9
   These are best eaten cold or frozen, so store in refrigerator or freezer.
10. 10
    Note: My experience has been that some brands of chocolate tend to get too stiff for dipping after awhile. To remedy this add a small amount (approx 1/2 tsp at a time) of shortening to the melted chocolate. Repeat as needed to keep chocolate smooth. Do not use margarine, butter, milk, or water as they could ruin the chocolate and make it curdle.
