oreo cake pops

sooo yummy and sooo easy make with only a few ingredients...oreo cookies, cream cheese and chocolate bark.

...but...the right ingredients are very important for the deliciousness... i had to learn it the hard way.

let me start with the cream cheese...please do not even think of using a light version...not yummy at all...big mistake...maybe i just chose the wrong light cream cheese, but i am not taking that risk again.

now, the chocolate bark...difficult, if you live in germany, as you do not have much of a choice...i always admired the really snow white coating i see in foreign recipes and i was sort of jealous, that i was unable to get any over here.

...so you can imagine how thrilled i was, when i spotted the whitest chocolate bark, i've ever seen in germany and had to get as many packages i could get...i made much better choices in my life before...not only that the chocolate was very diffiult to handle, the coating turned out very thin and the taste...let me better not talk about the taste.

last but not least the cookies...i love oreos...the look, the taste, everything...but nowadays there are a big variety of oreo look-alikes and taste-alikes...the good news...they are just perfect for the cake pops, too...really...no difference.

to cut this long story short, if you choose and cream-filled black cookies, simple tradtional cream cheese and tradtional white (a little bit yellowish)chocolate bark , these cake pops will be very delicous and very easy to make...i hope enjoy them, as much as i do.
