National Oreo Cookie Day is recognized across the nation each year on March 6th.

The Oreo sandwich cookie is made up of two chocolate disks containing a sweet cream filling and is loved by millions. Since it’s introduction, the Oreo cookie has become the best selling cookie in the United States.
The National Biscuit Company (today known as Nabisco) first developed and produced the “Oreo Biscuit” in 1912 at it’s Chelsea factory in New York City. Today, the block on which the factory was located is known as “Oreo Way”. The name “Oreo” was first trademarked on March 14, 1912.
The first Oreo cookies in the United States sold for 25 cents a pound in clear glass topped novelty cans. In 1912, the Oreo Biscuit was renamed to “Oreo Sandwich”. In 1948, the Oreo Sandwich was renamed to “Oreo Creme Sandwich”. William A. Turnier developed the modern-day Oreo design in 1952 to include the Nabisco logo. Nabisco’s principal food scientist, Sam Procello, developed the modern Oreo cookie filling.

Chocolate Covered Cookie Balls with OREO® Recipe

This easy-to-make, no-bake recipe is perfect year-round, and is sure to make any chocoholic squeal in delight! For Easter, shape dough into "eggs" instead of balls!

1 lb. of your favorite compound Chocolate - Dark, Milk or White
8 oz. Softened Cream Cheese
18 oz. Package of OREO® Cookies
Drizzle & Design Chocolate (optional)

1) Crush OREO® Cookies into fine crumbs (you can use a food processor or blender, or place the cookies in a baggie and crush with a rolling pin).

2) Use electric mixer to mix the crumbs with softened cream cheese.

3) Shape mixture into balls approximately 1" diameter each (or into egg shapes for Easter) and place on a heavy weight dipping sheet lined cookie sheet.

4) Freeze for 2 hours so that the balls will chill. (Optional: Put individual balls on a sucker stick before you freeze them to make them Oreo Cookie Ball Pops!)

5) After the balls are chilled, melt chocolate using instructions that came with your compound chocolate.

7) Using a fork or other metal utensil, add one frozen Oreo cookie ball at a time to the melted chocolate and turn to coat. Tap on edge of pan to get excess chocolate off and prevent excessive pooling of chocolate. (Optional: Immediately roll chocolate dipped ball in decorative topping.)

Place on glossy side of heavy weight dipping sheet lined tray and refrigerate on a level shelf for approximately 10-15 minutes until set-up (hardened).

Because of the cream cheese, keep chilled in an airtight container until ready to serve.
