🎄🍪 Reindeer Cookie Balls 🎅🦌✨

Ingredients:
14.3 oz package of chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed into crumbs (36 cookies)
1 cup chopped Rold Gold Classic Chocolate-Dipped Tiny Twists
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
6 oz chocolate candy coating, melted
Additional Rold Gold Classic Chocolate-Dipped Tiny Twists, for antlers
56 eyeball candies
28 red nose sprinkles

Directions:
1. Add chocolate sandwich cookies to a food processor or blender and crush into crumbs.
2. Add the chopped pretzels to the crumbs and stir to combine.
3. Mix together the cream cheese, cookie crumbs, and pretzels until well combined. You should easily be able to form balls.
4. Form balls from the cookie mixture about 1 inch in size. I used about 1 tablespoon of the mixture per ball.
5. Put the balls in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up a bit.
6. While the balls chill, break the pretzels into halves for the antlers. You’ll want 28 pairs of antlers.
7. Dip the chilled balls into the melted chocolate and set on parchment paper.
8. Quickly add the pretzel antlers to the top of the ball and hold them there for a few seconds until they stay in place.
9. Add the eyes and nose, using a little extra chocolate to attach them, if needed.
10. Store cookie balls in the fridge. Cookie balls should be good for at least 1 week.

🍫🎉 Chocolate Cake Pops 🎉🍫

Ingredients:
1 chocolate cake (9x13-inch size, baked and cooled)
1 cup chocolate frosting
12 ounces chocolate chips
Sprinkles (or chopped nuts, or other desired decorations - optional)

Directions:
1. Crumble the cooled chocolate cake into a large mixing bowl using your hands or a fork, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining.
2. Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist and able to hold its shape when rolled into balls.
3. Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into smooth balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball, pushing it about halfway through.
6. Place the baking sheet with the cake pops in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm up.
7. While the cake pops are chilling, melt the chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
8. Remove the cake pops from the refrigerator.
9. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, gently swirling and tapping off any excess chocolate.
10. If desired, decorate the cake pops with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other decorations while the chocolate is still wet.
11. Stick the cake pops upright into a foam block or a cake pop stand to allow the chocolate to set completely.
12. Alternatively, place the cake pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
13. Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining cake pops.

🍫❄️ Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake 🎄✨

Ingredients:
24 Oreo cookies, filling intact
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
24 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
Crushed candy canes

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan for a water bath. Place a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil underneath the pan and fold the edges up to create a waterproof seal. Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Make the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the melted chocolate, heavy cream, cocoa powder, eggs, and peppermint extract, mixing until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
6. Make the topping: Heat the heavy cream until just boiling, then pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Stir until smooth to create the ganache. Spread the ganache on top of the cooled cheesecake and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
7. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
