Mickey OREO Cookie Balls & Holiday Party

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 and admittedly I *may* have gone a bit over the top! But come on! Mickey Mouse and OREO Cookies?! Is it REALLY possible to go over the top when it comes to either of those? 🙂 It was so fun to make some Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookie Balls and I shared the recipe below. 

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 

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)  Here is the selection of OREO cookies I got that I used for my Mickey Mouse OREO Ball Cookie creations.  I am LOVING those red winter limited edition ones!  

                           

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. 

OFFICIAL OREO COOKIE BALLS RECIPE

• 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!

• To make my OREO Cookie Balls “Mickey-ized” I used red candy melts and white chocolate chips.
• These are optional ingredients for the OREO Cookie Balls.
• Really you just need the 3 ingredients to make this delicious treat!

  Overall 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!
