Forgot to sign my name to my OMG review. It's Gwen - or luvtopolka. Also, I saw the question about jimmies. I, too, couldn't find them, but used multi-colored candy sprinkles instead. luvtopolka

OMG!!! These are THE BEST! Everyone who tastes them loves them! So easy, too! What a hit with very little effort! The only "hard" part is rolling them in jimmies.

What are chocolate wafers?

Chocolate wafers are chocolate cookies - find them in with the cookies and snacks at your favorite grocery store.

These are easy and delicious. I crushed Oreos in the food processor, which worked nicely. One thing--when it says "refrigerate for 1 hour" it means it. I chilled it longer and the "dough" was too hard to roll into balls. I had to let it sit out to soften. Also, this takes a surprisingly large amount of sprinkles a.k.a. jimmies. Stock up!

This is very simple and delicious. I used Oreos and ground them in the food processor. I also used regular chips, not mint. One thing--when it says "refrigerate for 1 hour," it means only 1 hour. I left mine in the fridge for longer and it got so hard that it was difficult to roll into balls. You can let it sit out a while to soften if this happens.

As for the jimmies, I saw them at Dollar Tree last week.  All different colors.

I would love to make these but what are the chocolate wafers? Crushed sandwich cookies - like oreos?

Do you have a cake decorating supply store in your area? I'm sure they would have them. You could also try a craft store like Michaels. Jimmies are sprinkles that are long rather than round.
