Recommend plastic gloves
Crush cookies to fine crumbs (food processor works great); place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Put in fridge/freezer for a little while to make it easier. Roll cookie mixture into balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
Dip balls in chocolate or almond bark; place on wax paper. I usually drizzle on top chocolate almond bark over the white.
