With yet another holiday right around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate to add a little sweet fun into the recipe mix. I made this for our church small group and they were such a hit!
I am warning you, they are not “healthy”. They most definitely fall under the 20% rule. Eat healthy 80% of the time and leave room for the 20% to be the occasional treat. This mindful approach to eating, allows you to ditch the dieting, eat with pleasure, and without guilt.
So here is what you need for these tasty treats:
- 1 Package of Chocolate Oreos
- 6 oz of Cream cheese
- 8 oz of Bittersweet chocolate
- Seasonal sprinkles (Optional)
Here is what you do:
- In a food processor, combine the chocolate Oreos and cream cheese. Process until smooth. You might need to scrap down the sides a couple of times, you want it to be a pretty smooth cookie paste.
- Form into small balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Place in the freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave or use a double broiler.
- Remove cookie balls from the freeze and drop into melted chocolate. Coat well.
- Roll into sprinkles. Place back onto cookie sheet.
- Freeze for another hour or until firm.
- Store in an air tight container for up to two weeks.
