Cookie ball mixture is shaped into tiny boxes and covered with white candy to create mini presents that are a perfect dessert bite for guests or gifts.

## 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

## Directions

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.
4. 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.
5. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

## Tips

- For best results, remove the cookie ball squares from the refrigerator in small batches before dipping into the melted candy coating as directed.
- 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.
- Allow yourself both the time and attention to savor the flavor of this sweet treat.
- 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.
- Melt 3 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate. Use instead of the melted white candy coating.
- Substitute green candy wafers for some of the white or red candy coating wafers.
