I made similar bonbons sans sticks - simplified with oreos & 8oz RT cream cheese. The oreos have to be absolutely powdered for these to look like they do in the pic (absolutely smooth & pretty). Food processor the heck out of them, then mix w/ cream cheese until you have a "dough". I used a melon baller & rolled them in my palms to make them absolutely smooth. Cool the balls to firm them and dip/roll around in melted chocolate. I had rave reviews and had to promise to make them again.
