Oreo Birthday Cake, Cake Balls

This is a quick and easy

fun recipe for a summer party

or just to eat 

1 package of birthday cake oreos

1 package of 8 oz cream cheese

1 package of melting chocolate

sprinkles

Put the oreos in a zip lock bag and crush - really really crush.

Put them in the mixer with the cream cheese.

(let the cream cheese soften a little first)

mix together.

I used a cookie scooper and put them on wax paper and then 

put them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes until firm.

Melt the white chocolate 

Dip the cake balls in the white chocolate 

Add sprinkles of course

Put back in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Your guest will thank you - or your family, whichever the case may be.
