American Spirit Cookie Balls

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2. 36 vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
3. 3 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S White Chocolate, broken into pieces, melted
4. 1 Tbsp. red, white and blue multi-colored sprinkles

DIRECTIONS:

• Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.
• Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls. Freeze 10 min. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Top with sprinkles.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

KITCHEN TIPS:

• To easily coat cookie balls with the melted chocolate, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place balls on prepared baking sheet; let stand until chocolate coating is firm.
• Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
