[see what I
did there?]
Let me just
preface this by saying, I’m a lazy treat-maker. Which is why I rarely, if ever,
make treats. Mostly because I’m admittedly too snobby to make any treat from a
box, but also because I’m too lazy to put in the exacting effort it takes to
make treats from scratch. Then these puppies came along, and have since allowed
me to look like a talented and dedicated treat-maker (especially to my
neighbors). Thank you Bakerella, for giving me the solid foundation upon which I can now
make a variety of crazy delicious [and super lazy-simple] treats. No need to
bake and wait, these cookie Fakebites are ready almost as soon as you are!
Annie’s
“Fakebites”
Package of
Golden or Classic Oreos* [depends on if you want chocolate or vanilla]
8 oz cream
cheese
Candy Melts,
or dips
* double stuft
are fine, but you’ll need to use less cream cheese
This is the
barebones recipe upon which you can flavor, add, sprinkle and decorate to your
heart’s desire.
Process a half
or full sleeve of Oreos in your food processor until finely ground. Add cream
cheese, one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached; I
prefer a cookie-dough consistency. Scoop & roll mixture into 1” balls. Melt
your Candy Melts according to directions. Dip balls into Candy Melts and allow
to set on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
Now, to a
batch of classic Oreo Fakebites, I had some raspberry cheesecake fudge… so I
threw that in there and made some pretty delicious chocolate- raspberry
Fakebites. Honestly the possibilities are endless to the flavors you can add,
and the decorations you can do. The ‘bites can be made into any shape (hearts,
footballs, stars, etc.), you can add flavored cream cheeses, flavored fudges,
peanut butters, baking chips….. I could go on and on! Let your imagination run
wild and enjoys these crowd-pleasers!
