Per several requests, here is the link for the "Melting Snowmen"Oreo Cookie Balls
that Kristi Coleman brought to the holiday party.

Kristi tip:
She used the Philly cheesecake filling instead of plain cream cheese. She
froze the cookie/cheesecake mixture to firm it, then rolled the balls, and
froze them again before dipping them in chocolate. She reports it worked best with this
method.
