Ingredients

  • 36 Oreos
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup each vibrant green purple, and orange candy melts
  • candy eyes

Instructions

  • Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or crush them with a rolling pin in a zip top bag.
  • Add the cream cheese and Oreo cookie crumbs to a large bowl, and stir well to combine.
  • Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper, and roll the mixture into 1 inch balls.
  • Transfer the tray to the freezer for 1 hour.
  • Melt the candy melts in individual bowls at 30 second intervals in the microwave. Stir between each heating session until fully melted.
  • Dip the balls into the melted candy, and immediately add a candy eye to the side, the sprinkles to the top. Set on parchment paper to set up. Repeat until all the balls are coated and decorated.
  • Allow the candy to set, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened so it incorporates into the cookie crumbs well.
  • Freeze the Oreo balls before dipping in chocolate so they keep their shape. Don't skip freezing or you'll have a mess when you go to dip them.
  • Work quickly and add the decorations right after dipping them before the candy melts have a chance to set up.
