Description
These Circus Animal Cookie Balls are a delightful no-bake treat combining crushed frosted circus animal cookies and cream cheese, coated in colorful candy melts and almond bark, then decorated with rainbow nonpareil sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 ounce package frosted circus animal cookies (Mother’s brand recommended)
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 ounces hot pink candy melts
- 6 ounces white almond bark
- Rainbow nonpareil sprinkles (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Using a food processor, pulse the frosted animal cookies until broken into small pieces, then continue processing on low speed until finely crushed.
- Slice the softened cream cheese into the food processor and pulse until completely combined with the crushed cookies.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the cookie balls on.
- Use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie ball dough portion.
- Roll each scooped portion into a smooth ball and place on the lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet with cookie balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the hot pink candy melts and white almond bark separately in microwave-safe bowls in 30-second increments until smooth.
- Remove chilled cookie balls from refrigerator and carefully dip half into the melted hot pink candy melts using a fork; tap the fork against the bowl to remove excess coating.
- While coating is still wet, sprinkle rainbow nonpareils over the dipped cookie balls.
- Repeat the dipping and decorating process for the remaining cookie balls in the white almond bark coating.
- Refrigerate the coated cookie balls for 30 minutes or until the coating is completely firm.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
