Whether your kids have been naughty or nice this year is irrelevant because getting a Santa's Lumps of Coal Christmas Dessert isn’t a bad thing. At least it’s not bad when it’s made out of scrumptious OREO cookies!
This is the lazy baker’s version of an OREO cookie ball and there are absolutely no skills required. If rolling a uniform ball is not your thing, this is for you. If dipping cookie balls into melted chocolate results in a lumpy mess, this is for you.
Why You'll love our Santa's Lumps of Coal Christmas Dessert
These little lumps of coal are even perfect for little kids to make. They can get their hands dirty mixing the dough and shaping it into little lumps and rolling it in the cookie crumbles.

Ingredients
- 36 OREO cookies + 10 OREO cookies
