*I didn't add the full can of chilies I am not a big fan of them and I was afraid it would make it too spicy it added just the right amount of kick to it. Also I added a little cream to this. More cream makes everything better :)

Oreo BonBons

Can I say YUM!!!

I got this recipe from b'dubscafe one of my new favorite recipe blogs!!

This is what they look like before they are dipped in chocolate.

Oreo BonBons

1 bag oreos

8oz package of cream cheese

1pkg of dark chocolate almond bark

1pkg of white chocolate almond bark

Crush whole bag of Oreos in blender or food processor, you can do it with a rolling pin too but it takes a lot longer, you want it finely crushed or so there are no lumps. Soften cream cheese at room temp or place in microwave.

Put cookie sheet in freezer, it keeps the balls from falling apart. Mix softened cream cheese and crushed oreos together. Form into 1 inch balls and put on cookie sheet with wax paper. Place in freezer for a few minutes to harden.

When the bonbons are cold and hard melt the chocolate and dip the bonbons into the chocolate using a tooth pick to dip or you can spoon the chocolate over the top. the tooth pick will make a hole in the top just swirl some chocolate on top to cover it up. Once all of the bonbons are covered return to freezer till chocolate hardens then pull them out and put the leftover chocolate in a ziplock bag and cut a tiny hole in it and swirl it on the top. Put them in the freezer for 30 minutes then they are done.

*you can keep them frozen for later use, they taste best at room tempture. Enjoy!!!
