6 candy canes (finely chopped-about 1/3 cup-& divided)
1 (8 ounce) package Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
16 ounces baker's semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted

TIPS FOR PREPARATION:
SIZE WISE: These cookie balls have their own-built in portion control and can be enjoyed on occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.
HOW TO EASILY DIP COOKIE BALLS IN CHOCOLATE: 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.
