Coated Cookie Drops

Sara at make music from your heart is hosting a Christmas cookie recipe exchange! I'm looking forward to seeing what treats are shared, and hopefully, I can try a few out on my family and friends this year.
Here's my contribution:

Coated Cookie Drops

Ingredients:

1 pkg (20 oz) oreos
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
@ 24-30 oz candy coating, coarsely chopped for dipping (I use chocolate)
1 or 2 pkg of candy coating, coarsely chopped for drizzle (I use red/green)

Place the cookies in a food processor; cover and process until finely crushed. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and crushed cookies until blended. Roll into 3/4-in. balls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt candy coating for dipping, stirring until smooth; dip the balls to completely coat. Place on waxed paper until hardened.

Melt and drizzle remainder candy coating over balls. Store in the refrigerator.

Yield: about 7-1/2 dozen.
