    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2786952 i got the details from this thread. I made a test batch in October. They lasted a grand total of 1 hour and I made 36, I only had 4! lol

    I just crushed up a load of Oreos with a rolling pin, mixed in some phillidelphia type cheese, just a little at a time. Rolled in to balls and put in the fridge over night. They melted some tesco value chocolate and dippped them in.

    They didnt come out that round, but they were yummy!

    They had the 6 packs of mini oreos in poundworld (York) yesterday (for a pound obviously). Not sure how much they are usually or whether it's countrywide, but hope it helps.

    got them for 49p in Home Bargains for 154g. the 99p shop had them at 220g for 99p.

    I also bought Tesco Value cream cheese and Tesco Value chocolate (regular not cooking) to coat them in. (both used before)

    I hope to make tons this weekend.

    Last time I made about 36 chocs with 1 packet of biscuits, 2 spoons of cheese and one packs of chocolate. Hope this helps.
