Author: Melissa Johnson

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. 8 oz. brick cream cheese, softened
  • 36 OREO Cookies finely crushed
  • 12 oz. white candy coating wafers
  • 4 oz. red candy coating wafers
  • 100 mini heart sprinkles

Instructions

  • Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended; shape into 10x5-inch rectangle on
  • parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet. Freeze 30 min.
  • Cut cream cheese mixture into 50 (1-inch) squares. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Melt white candy coating wafers as directed on package. Dip cream cheese squares, 1
  • at a time, into melted candy coating, turning to evenly coat all sides of each square with
  • candy coating. Return to baking sheet. Let stand 10 min. or until candy coating is firm.
  • Melt red candy coating; spoon into pastry bag fitted with small writing tip. Use to pipe 4 lines on each square to resemble ribbon on a present as shown in photo.
  • Pipe small dot of the remaining candy coating onto center of each square, then immediately press 2 heart-shaped candies into candy coating to resemble a bow on a gift package as
  • shown in photo.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

PRO TIP: For best results, remove the cookie ball squares from the refrigerator in small batches
before dipping into the melted candy coating as directed.
PRO TIP: If the melted candy coating becomes too thick to easily coat the cookie ball squares,
add up to 2 tsp. oil to the melted candy coating to thin it to the desired dipping
consistency.
PRO TIP: Melt 3 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate. Use instead of the melted white candy
coating.
