This delicious chocolate recipe is hardly new news. Oreo cookie balls are everywhere. Walking down the aisles of my local grocery store –
I see them (artistically advertised on the billboard-like centerpiece that’s
taking up so much of the aisle that my cart almost knocks it down when trying
to get by). On Pinterest – I see them. Everywhere online – I see them. The one
thing that I have noticed is that when I see them, they are very much Christmas
treats. There are red and green chocolate dipped cookie truffles, ones with red
and green sprinkles and adorable teeny tiny snowmen (ok, so snowmen aren’t
exactly Christmas – but do you associate them more with that holiday or
Hanukkah?). What’s missing? The Oreo balls for the little Jewish kids (like my
son).
I’m sure someone (or lots of someones) have made Hanukkah
cookie truffles before. It often feels like there are no completely new, original
ideas up for grabs. But, while experimenting with different holiday recipes
(yes, I jumped on the Christmas cookie bandwagon) I also wanted to make a few
that celebrate Hanukkah.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
1 package of Oreos -- the double stuff
ones work best
·
White chocolate bars
·
Blue sugar crystals – this comes in a
variety names, depending on where you shop. You’ll want to look for chunky
crystals that have been colored blue. If you can’t find them you can substitute
blue sprinkle or make your own with regular course sugar and blue food
coloring.
·
6 oz. of cream cheese
·
Wax paper
Here’s What to Do:
1. Crush
the Oreos in a food processor. It’s tempting just to crunch them up with your
hands or a potato masher. I prefer the lowest tech option, but you’ll need to
make the cookies into a sand-like consistency. That requires a food processor.
2. Pour
the cookie crumbles into a bowl. Mix in the cream cheese. Use your hands (or
have your child use hers). Really get in there and mash the mixture completely.
3. Roll
the mix into balls that are slightly smaller than golf balls. Place them on a
wax paper-covered plate and pop them into the freezer.
4. Freeze
the chocolate mix for about an hour.
5. Melt
the white chocolate. You can do a stovetop method or you can take the easier
route of microwaving it. Use a microwave safe bowl to heat the chocolate for about
one minute. Microwaves vary in strength, so keep an eye on the chocolate and
stop the heating process when it melts. Do not touch the melty chocolate. It
will be very hot.
6. Use
a spoon or poke each ball with a toothpick to add a coating of the white chocolate.
7. Set
the truffle on the wax paper. Sprinkle the blue sugar over it.
