Oreo Cookie Pops

1 pkg. regular oreos

1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

Chocolate Bark

Sprinkles

Sucker Sticks

Process oreos in Food Processor until finely ground. Place in large mixing bowl. Add cream cheese. With a spoon blend the two together real well. (It didn't go well for me when I blended the two in my processor.) Form into balls about the size of large walnuts. Place in wax paper lined pan and put in the fridge to chill. Meanwhile melt the chocolates (I used Wilton milk chocolate and the pink white chocolate) with a little bit of shortening, like 1 to 2 teaspoons to thin it out some. Dip chilled balls in the chocolate. To make like above just let the balls sit for a while and then spoon some of the pink chocolate on top. Add sprinkles. Let set and then pick up and poke a sucker stick underneath. Super cute and fun to do with the kids!

½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well

¼ cup mayonnaise

½ cup parmesan cheese, grated

1 clove garlic, finely minced

½ tsp dry basil or 1 Tbsp fresh basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Soften cream cheese. Cream together cream cheese, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and garlic salt. Mix well. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach and mix until blended. Store in a refrigerated container until ready to use. Spray pie pan (ceramic or glass looks nice!) with Pam and pour dip in, then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the top is browned. Serve with bread, crackers, and tortilla chips, or even fresh vegetables.
