Ingredients:
- 3 (9.6-oz.) pkg. Chips Ahoy Chewy Red Velvet cookies
- 1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 (12-oz.) pkg. white chocolate chips, divided
- Green food coloring gel
- Red heart sprinkles, for decorating
- Place a wire rack in a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a food processor, pulse cookies until fine crumbs form.
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth. Add cookie crumbs and beat until well combined.
- Using a 1-Tbsp. measuring spoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls about 1 1/2" in diameter. Arrange on prepared rack and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
- Set a medium heatproof bowl over a medium pot of barely simmering water, making sure bottom of bowl doesn’t touch water. Reserve 1 pkg. chips. In bowl, heat remaining 2 pkg. chips, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 drop food coloring and stir, adding more if needed, until desired color is reached.
- Using a fork, dip a ball into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return ball to rack; repeat with remaining balls. Depending on thickness of coating, a second coat can be applied, if desired. Refrigerate until set, 30 minutes. Wipe out bowl; reserve double boiler setup.
- In double boiler, heat remaining 12 oz. chips, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 drop food coloring and stir, adding more if needed, until desired color is reached. If needed, add hot water from pot, 1 Tbsp. at a time and stirring vigorously after each addition, until chocolate is a drizzling consistency. Transfer to a plastic or piping bag. Snip end off bag and drizzle chocolate over balls to create stripes. Before drizzle has set, top each ball with a red heart.
