YUMMY! Keep your dough cold and be careful not to overheat the white chocolate. Loved these!!!

I had a great time making these. Easy and fun. Took me two tries to get it right. Had a hard time dipping them as I tried to take them out with my fingers, which left bare spots on the sides and ruined the round shape. I then dropped the ball into the melted chocolate and used a spoon to spoon more chocolate over top. Scooped out with the spoon and tilted the spoon forward and back, to drain off the excess chocolate, then carefully wiggled the ball off the spoon onto the cookie.This gave just enough chocolate for the base. I also waited for the chocolate to set a bit and used the back of the spoon to gently tap it on top to get that cute peak in the pictures. I melted white chocolate wafers that you can buy at any bulk store. They melt really easily. Needed to make more filling in order to get enough. I think I will quadruple the recipe next time as they were a big hit!

I have made these for years, but without the extra cookie underneath. You can really do a lot with mint oreos/dark chocolate, white chocolate/vanilla oreos, etc. All great. As another reviewer said, cool dough is the best. I freeze the cookie balls for a few hours before I dip them in chocolate. It makes it a lot easier.

If you really want to make it look like a melting snowman, you could also use the white fudge dipped Oreo's.

Yummy! I have made different variations of oreo balls for years. They always taste awesome! (dangerous on the scale though!!!) I apparently make my balls bigger because I tripled the recipe and I still only ended up with about only about 22. The store didn't have red oreos so I used the green mint ones instead. I also used vanilla almond bark. I also was a little generous on the cream cheese because I wanted to make sure they would stick together well. I did put the snowman faces on them, but they sure don't look as cute as the professional ones. However, I work with kids so they won't mind at all. I didn't have problems with making them solid white, but I did put them in the refrigerator for about 30 min before I warmed up my almond bark, and when I made them into balls I rolled them in my hands like play-dough to make sure they were put together well. These were fun to make and I will most likely do it again before the season is over.

OK...seriously...one of my top three favorite cookies of all time!!!!!!!!!!! The taste is absolutely decadent; out of this world!! I made them because I thought they were cute; I never expected them to be so delicious. Great job, Oreo, on making a recipe using your cookies that I would actually make for taste along, not counting how adorable the melting snowmen are! My only change would be to try refrigerating the cream cheese balls before dipping in the chocolate because mine melted a little in the chocolate, making the white appear a bit "dirty" in places because of the brown chocolate mixing in. Overall, I am very pleased, though. THANKS!

This recipe is super cute. I make the Oreo ball part with yellow Oreos --tastes like cookie dough but adding the extra cookie under it for me makes it just too sweet. Also difficult to eat.....crumbly.

I really like the idea of this recipe, just plain cute! I modified it to make it a little more realistically possible. As other reviewers have said, make sure your dough is very cold. I also used a double boiler and melted my white chocolate chips and added about an inch of parafin wax just like I do with my buckeye balls. The parafin helps the chocolate set up better. For decorating, I used colored chocolate discs melted in decorator bottles. It is thicker than the gel and not as messy. They were adorable!

Looking at this picture gave me an idea to just use Vanilla ice cream instead and then freeze them. Simpler, but still fun. My kids won't eat cream cheese. We will see how it goes....
