I made up a batch of the oreo balls recipe someone posted here on CC for a BBQ last weekend - these little confections were the hit of the dessert table. Everyone loved them! If you haven't tried 'em - go for it. Oh I love all the little extras I find on this site.
I know what you mean...I love the info on here.
I am going to make the Oreo balls for a picnic party at school on August 18. I can't wait.

my mother-in-law makes thema nd calls the "dirt balls" i think that's a fun name! 
Here's the recipe I think they are referring to: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipes_id-add_box-5283.html
I just love these. I have been making them for years and they have always gone over with a bang. The ease of this recipie makes these so much fun to make more so when everyone goes nuts over them...lol I let them think I slave over them..lol 
What's nice about them, too, is that Oreo has a lot of different flavors now. The Cool Mint is especially yummy! I also made some using plain label vanilla sandwich cookies, cream cheese, and the mix you can get for making dessert cheese balls. The flavors I tried were Key Lime, and a cherry vanilla/white chocolate.
ok so i read the recipe.... can i use candy melts???? i have no idea what chocolate bark is.... or i have a huge hersheys bar in my refrigerator...can i use that??? As you can see i don't make alot with chocolate and i have only used the wilton candy discs.
Also. when you mix the cookies and cream cheese, should that just be mixed with a spoon in a bowl or should i pull out the kitchen aid.
sorry to bother you guys with something so simple.

You can usually find chocolate almond bark in the same aisle as cake mixes, sugar, baking essentials, etc. at your grocery store. It's almost always with the chocolate chips and such.
Hrm.. you could probably use chocolate chips too.
Hope this helps,

You can put the cookie crumbs and cream cheese in your kitchen aid to mix. I do it all the time. I haven't tried the candy melts yet, so I can't answer that question. I always use the bakers chocolate.
the are good! You can also find it under oreo truffles!
I put these on my Christmas cookie plates that I give to frieds and the Oreo ones are the first to go. I also use Nutter Butter cookies, they are a peanut butter type cookie, and dip them in chocolate. Yummy!!

Yes, you can use candy melts and/or a big ol' chocolate bar
I finally made some tonight...OH MY GOSH ! They are so good ! Thanks for all the help and suggestions ! next time I'm going to make them with the peanut butter sandwich cookies and dip them in chocolate ! Yum Yum !Has anyone made them that way ? Just curious.
My sister gave me this recipe a few years ago and every time I make these, they are gone!!! I usually just use a bag of white choc. chips melted with a TBS shortening to dip the oreo balls in. The best thing about this recipe is that it makes sooooo many!
Oreo Truffles are one of my biggest sellers.......I grind my Oreos in the food processor, and mix in bowl with cream cheese, and dip in white chocolate....people go mad for these!
I made them dipped in melted dark chocolate chips and drizzled with Whilton's yellow candy melts (yellow, only color I had!). Brought them to work for 'testing' and everyone just went nuts over them.
They all thought I had slaved over a hot stove making them tasty treats!
TO DIE FOR AND E-Z to make! 
I made the balls very small before dipping since I thought they would be too sweet,also. -- I thought of posting a pix here but I have a new roll of film in the camera (sorry, no digital camera - HighSpeedInternet @ home is as high-tech as this girl gets!!).
The balls I made were about 2 chocolate malt balls put together -- perhaps 2 Tablesp. of the mix. A man can just pop one in his mouth; while a lady takes 1 bite and then has 1 bite left.
I asked if they were too sweet. I guess if you make them around the holiday season, then they would fit right in with all the other sweets going around. Whereas making them now, they do seem a little sweet. Try them with low-fat cookies & see...hmmm, that's an idea!
Oh my gosh, that sounds sooooo goood....cant wait to try this out !
