INGREDIENTS

• 12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
• 8 regular Oreos
• 2 oz cream cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the chocolate in a large heat-proof mixing bowl over hot water (bain marie). Stir the chocolate with a clean spatula until it is completely melted and smooth. Turn off the stove but keep the chocolate bowl over the water pot so the chocolate does not cool down.
2. Add about 1/2 tsp of melted chocolate to the bottom of each mold. Bang the bottom of your silicone pan against the counter a few times so that the chocolate spreads evenly across the bottom of each mold.
3. Using the back of a small spoon, dip it into the bowl of melted chocolate and then use the back of the spoon to coat the inner sides of each mold, making sure not to leave any crevice uncovered. Place into the fridge to harden for about 20 minutes.

FILLING:

1. Add Oreos and cream cheese to a food processor and mix until cookies have become small crumbs, and a thick paste forms.
2. Remove chocolate shells from the fridge once they have hardened. Add about 1 tsp of cookies and cream mixture to each candy mold. Leave a little room at the top to add more chocolate to seal the shells.
3. Spoon a little more chocolate into each shell to cover the surface. Bang the bottom of the silicone pan against the counter a few times to smooth out the surface of the candy cups. Place in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
