Oreo Balls and Standing Out

A big part of my job right now is going into my accounts and introducing myself.  Sounds easy enough but being that there are 11 gajillion liquor/beer/food/wine reps that go into any account on a given day a lot of buyers don't want to be bothered.  They especially don't want to be bothered by someone they don't even know (aka Me).  I decided that instead of just leaving my business card (to either be thrown away or tossed in a pile with the rest of them) I wanted to do something different.  Enter Oreo Balls (aka the best and easiest treat you'll ever taste or make)!  I made these last year for my office and everyone seriously raved about them.

Oreo Balls Recipe
What you'll need:
























1 family size package of Oreos
1 8oz block of cream cheese
1 package of Candy Melts (pictured below)
Assorted sprinkles

That baking chocolate up there did NOT work like I thought it would so I had to make a 2nd trip to the store to get the candy melts:




















What you do:

1. Place Oreos in blender until they become the same consistency as dirt and pour into a large mixing bowl

2. Mix in 1 package of softened cream cheese; I did this part with my hands because it was much easier than using a spoon

3. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on wax paper
























4. Freeze for 15 minutes

5. Meanwhile melt candy melts according to directions on package

6. When melted dip each ball into the mixture until it's evenly coated (I used 2 forks to swirl mine around)

7. Shake sprinkles onto ball before the candy coating hardens

8. Enjoy!
























After mine were done I threw a few into little bags and tied on my business cards.
























Yall don't judge my awful pics, my kitchen is probably the worst for taking any kind of photo due to all of the shadows!
