36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed
12 oz. white candy coating wafers
4 oz. red candy coating wafers
100 mini heart sprinkles

Putting it together

1.Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended; shape into 10x5-inch rectangle on parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet. Freeze 30 min.
2.Cut cream cheese mixture into 50 (1-inch) squares. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3.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.

Tips and Tricks

How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls: For best results, remove the cookie ball squares from the refrigerator in small batches before dipping into the melted candy coating as directed.

Note: The uncoated cookie ball squares can be stored in a freezer container up to 1 month. Let stand at room temperature about 10 min. before dipping the squares into the melted candy coating and decorating as directed.

Size Wise: Allow yourself both the time and attention to savor the flavor of this sweet treat.

Note: 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.

Substitute: Melt 3 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate. Use instead of the melted white candy coating.

Special Extra: Substitute green candy wafers for some of the white or red candy coating wafers.
