Ingredient list

1 pkg. (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed
12 oz. white candy coating wafers
4 oz. red candy coating wafers
100 mini heart sprinkles

Directions

Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended; shape into 10x5-inch rectangle on parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet. Freeze 30 min.

Cut cream cheese mixture into 50 (1-inch) squares. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Melt white candy coating wafers as directed on package. Dip cream cheese squares, 1 at a time, into melted candy coating, turning to evenly coat all sides of each square with candy coating. Return to baking sheet. Let stand 10 min. or until candy coating is firm.

Melt red candy coating; spoon into pastry bag fitted with small writing tip. Use to pipe 4 lines on each square to resemble ribbon on a present as shown in photo. Pipe small dot of the remaining candy coating onto center of each square, then immediately press 2 heart-shaped candies into candy coating to resemble a bow on a gift package as shown in photo.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.
