Melting Snowmen Cookie Balls

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 24 peanut butter sandwich cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups) 
• 3 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S White Chocolate, broken into pieces, melted
• 48 mini vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
• 2 Tbsp. decorating icing

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.
2. Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls; place in single layer in shallow pan. Freeze 10 min. Dip balls in chocolate; place in shallow waxed paper-lined pan, allowing excess chocolate to pool at bottom of each ball. Decorate with remaining ingredients to resemble snowmen.
3. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

KITCHEN TIPS:

1. These seasonal cookie balls have built-in portion control and can be enjoyed on occasion.
2.  To easily coat 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 in prepared pan; let stand until firm.
3. Sprinkle cookie balls with colored sugar or sprinkles instead of decorating with the Mini vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies and decorating icing.
