How to Make Dirty Snowballs

  1. Combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 2 cups of crushed Oreo cookies (or Candy Cane Joe-Joes) in a medium bowl.
  2. Using your hands (it's the easiest method!), thoroughly mix the cream cheese and cookie crumbs until a dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
  4. Roll the chilled mixture into bite-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  5. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour, or until solid.
  6. Melt 12 ounces of almond bark in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each frozen snowball into the melted almond bark, ensuring they're fully coated.
  8. Place the coated snowballs back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Refrigerate or freeze until the almond bark is completely hardened (about 30 minutes).
