I’m very late to this party, but that is the beauty of the internet! If anyone reads this, I solved the problem of the chocolate not melting very well by adding 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the chocolate. It melted beautifully and stayed liquid and silky all the way through the dipping. If anyone is allergic to nuts and can’t have coconut, you can use regular shortening. I also want to try this with the mint Oreos as well as the peanut butter.

In reply to Christa. Hi Christa, you know, I don't remember exactly (I'll be making a note of it this year after I make them!) but I'd guess about 2 dozen. I think it really depends on how big you make them. I did freeze some last year and they were still great. Hope that helps!

Approximately how many does one recipe make? I am doing a big baking day with some friends and need to make 15 dozen of a recipe. I would love to try these ones. Also, have you ever tried freezing them?

I made these for my sons’ birthday and they turned out really good. Very easy to make!

In reply to Ann. Here in Canada you can get them as low as $1.99 right now at Rexall/Pharmaplus, or when they're not on sale for about $3.

In reply to Lee. I've seen it at Walmart but it has been awhile. I actually just made these this afternoon again and I used vanilla bark from GFS and rolled the tops in crushed candy cane. Worked GREAT! I can't wait to give them away!

In reply to Amanda. I usually stick them in the freezer and pull them out as needed for parties...etc, but I'm sure they'd be fine sitting out while you're serving them!

In reply to Darla Leatherman. Try finding the Almond bark in the baking section. I know in my grocery stores it is hit or miss. you can also use the white chocolate melting candy pieces sold at most craft stores.

In reply to Angie. Where do you find the almond bark? I have not been able to find it for another recipe I wanted to try.

These sound perfect To add to the list of cookies we make for Christmas!! Quick question…because of the cream cheese, do they need to stay refridgerated??

In reply to Traci. I agree! The bark works the best! And I, too, drizzle melted chocolate over top of them. I've made these the last 3 Christmases for my family, mostly because after the first time they have been the #1 request! I never thought to use Mint Oreos. What a great idea! Thank you :)

I just made these tonight. Super easy, and they taste wonderful! I like to use the white chocolate almond bark. It has a nice color contrast.

I think I may changed the cream cheese to peanut butter and some marshmallow creme. Definitely excited to try this from my family on Christmas Eve! YAY!!!

I make these bon bons all of the time and find that almond bark works much better than the semi sweet chocolate or chocolate wafers and then when finished i melt chocolate chips to drizzle over each oreo truffle! super fun!
another tip…instead of using regular oreos i like to change things up by using peanut butter oreos or mint ones!!!! SUPER YUMMY!

Oh my goodness, perfect timing, My boss just made these and brought them in to work today. I just looked at them, but everyone else ate ate ate said they were delicious. I may have to try them with the sugar free oreos and convert the rest over to sugar free. Sounds good to me….
Thank you for sharing.
