Here is the recipe for the Oreo Bon-Bons my family made a few days ago.
Ingredients:
1 pkg. Oreo cookies - I use store brand
1 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 lb. bag pwd. sugar (you won't use the whole bag)
1 pkg. chocolate bark
With a mixer, blend the cream cheese and about 1/3 bag of powdered sugar until creamy. Crush cookies (yes the whole package) and add to cream cheese/sugar mixture. Mix together well. We usually mix it all together with a mixer. But it is very thick. You want to get a creamy-like texture, not chunky.
Melt the chocolate bark either in a pan on the stove or in the microwave. It only takes a little time in the microwave. You can't go by the looks of the chocolate. It can be melted but still look like it's in chunks. How weird is that???
Form the cookie mixture into little balls. You can determine how big you want them. These can be very rich so usually a smaller size works well. Place the formed balls on wax paper and spoon the melted chocolate over each one, covering them entirely. Let the chocolate harden. After the chocolate has hardened, I sometimes cut away any excess chocolate from each bon-bon to make them look better.
We have done other bon-bons besides the Oreo filling. We've done cherries as well as marshmallows. The Oreo ones seem to be a huge hit with most people.
