New Years Treats

Our yearly tradition of Chinese take out in our jammies will prevail this year except for one thing……the addition of eating these cookie balls while drinking champagne and sparkling juice when we watch the ball drop.

I am so glad that I took a hiatus during the holidays from losing a few pounds, cause these cookie treats are so stinkin delish. Crowd favorite, they look pretty and are super easy to make.

Here’s what you need to make the cookie balls.
1 package of sandwich cookies. A cookie with stuff in the middle. I used a store brand cookie.
1 package of cream cheese
1 package of candy melts ( I used Wilton) in white 
Gold sugar crystals.

Put your cookies in a plastic bag and smash to pieces. Mix in your cream cheese until it is all mixed together. Roll into small balls on wax paper. Chill until firm, which means at least 1/2 hour.

Prepare your candy melts according to the package directions. I put mine in a bowl and put in the microwave for 3 mins. Stirring it along. Dip each ball into your candy melt, completely coating each one. Immediately sprinkle the sugar crystals on your treats. Candy melts harden pretty quickly.

Refrigerate until ready to be served…..or until the champagne is poured. What will you be eating New Years Eve?
