Snow Balls (Oreo Balls or Oreo Truffles)

AngieME's Note:

O-O-O good. If you like Oreo cookies, you'll love these truffle-like cookies (or are they candy?). I got this recipe from Brenda C at a cookie exchange in 2006, and it's made it to the top of my easy/yummy sweets list.

SO EASY and yummy! I took about 3 cookies out of the package before putting them in the food processor and it was fine. I also used 1 lb of almond bark and it was more than enough (we had some leftover). It made 35 for me. I will definitely make these next Christmas (ok, before then too) as a cute add to a cookie platter. Thanks!

These were good but very sweet. I made these at Easter for dessert and everyone enjoyed them. I followed the recipe as written. Made for Spring PAC 2010.

WOW, so good. Had these at a potluck and they were amazing. They were covered with semi sweet chocolate, and very rich and delicious! Cant wait to make them myself.
