Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving week! Can you believe it’s here? Are you hosting, cooking, traveling, or just laying low? I am hosting but all I am tasked with is setting the table since everyone else is bringing food. I can definitely handle that!
Today I am back with another “30 Days in a Holiday State of Mind” post! By now you know I am a sucker for recipes with 5 ingredients or less. I am also a sucker for a themed get-together. Last week I hosted a playdate for the neighborhood. Admittedly, I *may* have gone a bit over the top!
But come on!
Mickey Mouse?!?!!?!
OREO Cookies?!?!?!
Is it REALLY possible to go over the top when it comes to either of those? 🙂
I knew I wanted to make some Mickey and Minnie Mouse OREO Cookie Balls for the party, so I just ran with the whole Disney theme. Because any party with a theme is just more fun. #truth
I found everything I needed at Wal-Mart. These little mini OREOS are adorable, and since they are so small, the calories don’t count! (or at least that is what I tell myself)
Of course, I brought the sidekick shopping!
The OREO Cookie Balls were really easy to make! I did make them a little more complex with the whole Mickey and Minnie get-up, but I think they turned out adorable and definitely worth the extra steps. If you want an easy cookie, you could of course just make regular OREO Cookie Balls recipe below.
-
Ingredients:
-
1 pkg (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
-
36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups)
-
4 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
-
Make it!
-
MIX cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.
-
SHAPE into 48 (1-inch) balls. Freeze 10 min. Dip balls in melted chocolate; place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan.
-
CUSTOMIZE it with your own ingredient additions or decorative skills.
-
REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm.
- Share and enjoy!

The play date was fun and the kids (and moms!) loved the OREO treats. I love that I am home with the boys now and can enjoy fun neighborhood get togethers.
Thanks for joining me in my Holiday State of Mind!

Heather..what a creative way to use Oreo cookies. I love that you incorporated a kids play date using mini and regular size Oreo's! And those golden Oreo's…wow are they delicious! Including the Mom's with cheese and crackers was a good idea! I'll bet they can't wait to be invited to another play date at your house!
Those Golden Oreos are SO tasty!
Well I wish I'd be invited to your play dates!!! They look so fun!!! Question is, who had more fun? You, while you being so creative and coming up with all of these great ideas, or your friends who I'm sure had a blast? Great job, Ms. Creative!!
Ha, yeah I probably had just as much fun planning it! OREO and Mickey Mouse made the theme so easy!
These are SO cute! My youngest would love them, he's a Mickey Mouse devotee!
OREO Cookie Balls are SO delish, and I love the Mickey, Minnie, & Donald Cookie Balls! There's nothing more magical than Mickey, Christmas, and OREOs all served up together! #client
Great ideas! I've never had the golden Oreo's – can't wait to try them! This is all so clever! Love the mickey straws!!!
Loved seeing all the creative touches you added to this party to make it so special. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. I like in Orlando – – so how can I NOT put these fab ideas to use? Also, the golden Oreos are new to me – – will have to look out for those at the store next time!
These Oreo cookie balls are the CUTEST!! And the rest of your decorations and touches look awesome!!
HOW CUTE!! My daughter would love these!!
