Instructions

Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix using a hand mixer or by hand until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Freeze for about 10 minutes, just until firm.

Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out, tap off excess chocolate, and place it back on the lined tray.
Decorate immediately with sprinkles, crushed cookies, or drizzle more chocolate on top if desired.
Allow the coating to set completely before serving or storing.
