36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed
12 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate
Suggested decorations (sprinkles, nonpareils, colored sugar, melted candy coating wafers, decorating icing or gel)

Directions

Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended; place on sheet of parchment paper. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Use 1-inch cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes, rerolling trimmings as necessary. Place cutouts on parchment-covered baking sheet.

Refrigerate 30 min. or until firm.

Refrigerate cutouts 1 hour or until chocolate is firm. Keep refrigerated.
