I loved them! I knew enough to put the balls in the freezer on a cookie sheet like many other recipes that are similar (peanut butter chocolate balls). I used the food processor and then sprinkled in some sea salt to cut the super sweetness. It really did the trick! I used the bulk chocolate from the supermarket as it's better than chips or almond bark (Belgian)and melted in a double boiler. I would add some wax next time to the chocolate to add a bit of thickness and sheen, about the size of a lipstick per batch. That works with well with other recipes.

Ok if I can do this, anyone can! I made it according to directions. I was confused by comments that recommended not using the whole bar of cream cheese because without that, I couldn't get the dough consistentcy needed. I also did not even taste the cream cheese, so perhaps they were using a different type of cream cheese. The possibilities are endless with this recipe! Hmm what about nutter butter cookies with strawberry cream cheese? PB & J cookies? These taste fantastic and will be my new go to recipes. FYI I found using a small spoon much easier than the fork to roll the balls around in the chocolate. Also I used almond bark as other suggested, YUM!!!

Oh this was a bad idea....so far it's been pretty hard to stay out of these. I used generic oreos, the full cube of cream cheese and almond bark. I did chill the balls before dipping, and while that likely made it easier, I don't really think I have much talent when it comes to dipping. But it didn't matter, they turned out amazing. definitnely not as 'pretty' as they could have, but still delish.

Delish! I think everything has been said already about this cookie/candy and how to make it. So I only want to add that peppermint bark would be a wonderful coating, especially for the holidays. You can also get the most wonderful peppermint Joe's O's at Trader Joes, although they are seasonal. They also have vanilla, chocolate chocolate and ginger which are divine, a more grown up taste.

I sent the original recipe to a family friend in the army. She loved them, I had one my self and I changed the candy coating to white chocolate. And it was amazing!

these are really delicious! they're very moist and tasty. only thing was, that i didn't need 1 whole pound of vanilla flavored candy coating. it was WAY too much. i ended up dipped all sort of things around my kitchen (pretzels, marshmallow....not bad, actually) and making almond bark, as well. also, i recommend thawing the cookie balls (if taking them straight out of the fridge) for a few minutes. moistens the inside and make the candy coating a little easier to eat. i really enjoyed these cookie balls, and my family loved them. i will definetly make these again :)
