O Balls....A 3-ingredient recipe! (a repost)

An ever-so-simple recipe that even the kids can help make.  These are delicious and  this recipe makes 75! Give them as gifts in a pretty Christmas tin.

My co-worker, Sally, served these in the Lounge at school a couple of years ago, and I had forgotten how simple and delicious they were. Now they are back on my Christmas list of fun treats to make. You can also make them with the MINT Oreos, and the Peanut butter flavored or any flavor of your choice.

A great recipe to make and take to parties.

WARNING! These are very rich! And although there are only three ingredients and no cooking is involved, it is a time-consuming recipe, so allow yourself plenty of prep time, and to speed up the process, enlist the help of friends and family.


YOU WILL NEED:

1 package Oreo cookies(1 lb. 4 oz.) Original flavor or your favorite
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
20 ounces almond bark, melted

Directions:

Crush 1 pkg. Oreo cookies. I put mine in a large freezer bag and hit them with a mallet until finely crumbled.

 Mix with softened cream cheese. Roll into balls; chill.

 Dip in 18-20 oz. melted almond bark or  12 oz. bag white chocolate chips to coat.
You can melt chips in the microwave at 30-second intervals till they are smooth, or use a double boiler on the stove.

 *Put a toothpick in the ball and dip in chocolate.

*You can also crush Oreo's in food processor and add in cream cheese cubes to mix.

 * Chill this mixture before rolling into balls.

*You can drizzle top with chocolate after dipping

Store in an airtight container in the fridge before and after serving.

Here's a simple, but different treat for breakfast or brunch that takes only 30 minutes, start to finish!

1 16 oz. can refrigerated biscuits
3 T. butter, melted
2 T. granulated sugar
1 T. orange zest
Glaze:
½ c. powdered sugar
1 T. freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp. orange zest

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spread butter on baking sheet.

 Mix granulated sugar 1 T. of orange zest together in a shallow bowl.

Cut each biscuit in half. Roll each biscuit into a rope. Tie each rope in a loose knot. Tuck the ends underneath the knot. Place on  baking sheet.

Brush tops of knots with melted butter. Dip buttered tops in orange sugar mixture.

Bake about 10 minutes. Watch carefully so the sugar doesn’t burn.

While knots are baking make an orange glaze.

 Mix powdered sugar, orange juice and remaining orange zest together.

While knots are still warm brush them with orange glaze.

Let cool for about 2-3 minutes. Serve.

You can store Orange Knots in an airtight container and serve the next day. They are best warmed in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
