Christmas Oreo Balls are one of my favorite cookies. Really you can make these any time of the year for any occasion, but they are fun to add to a cookie plate as most people enjoy these. Overall Oreo balls are a super simple cookie to make and require no baking, but there are a lot of steps to the process to complete these. I did run into the issue of my chocolate drizzle drying before I got my sprinkles on, I could only do about two before I added the sprinkles. I tried 4 at a time and it dried somewhat so the sprinkles would not stick. This would be a fun cookie to make with kids as they can help form the ball and also add the sprinkles as you dip the ball in the chocolate. Then it will not have time to dry.

Variations

• Where I live, almond bark only comes in one size of package. I started with four squares each melted of white chocolate and chocolate.
• My colored candy melts also only come in one size. I melted a little less than a quarter of the bag to do the drizzle.
• You can easily make these for any occasion throughout the year. I know where I am you can buy the candy melts in every color of the rainbow plus more. And you can always buy sprinkles for about any holiday or occasion out there.
• For Christmas I thought the white chocolate looked better for all the colors so I only did that color.
• If you do not have a food processor, you can just crush the Oreos in a bag. Make sure to get them to a crumb size. If you have large chunks, it will be harder to form into balls.
