1 pkg. Oreo cookies, finely crushed (I put them in a large Ziploc bag and sealed it then went over it with a rolling pin)

2 pkg. (8 squares each) Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, melted (I did half the batch with Baker's chocolate and the other half with chocolate chips and they both tasted great)


Mix cream cheese and 3 cups cookie crumbles until well blended. Shape into 48 1-inch balls. Dip in melted chocolate and place on cookie sheet covered in wax paper. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs. Refrigerate one hour or until firm. Store in tupperware in fridge.
