8 ounce(s) block of light cream cheese (room temperature)
1 bar semisweet baking chocolate (white) (for use if dipping the balls in chocolate at the end*)
1 small box Peppermint candy canes (crushed)
*With this recipe you can dip half the Oreo balls in white chocolate at the end or leave as is, which is delish and has fewer calories. Both ways are scrumptious!

Place unwrapped candy canes in a a large Ziploc bag and crush. This may be easier with the side of a rolling pin or a mallet .
Next, empty the package of Oreos in a food processor and blend until they look like crumbs. Add cream cheese and mix in food processor until well combined. If you are not dipping the balls in chocolate at the end, also add the crush peppermint into the balls now.
Next, form into 1-inch balls, then place in the fridge for at least one hour to chill.
If, you are dipping the balls in chocolate: Prepare chocolate bar according to package directions. Dip one-half of each of the balls in the melted chocolate and place on wax or parchment paper. Finish by sprinkling with crushed candy canes.
