Ingredients

  • 36 Oreo sandwich cookies regular or gluten-free
  • 8 ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces green candy melts
  • 4 ounces blue candy melts
  • 4 ounces orange candy melts
  • Candy eyes different sizes

Instructions

  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a sheet of wax paper.
  • Place Oreos in a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
    Alternatively you can place them in a sealed plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin.
  • Place the softened cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until smooth. Add the Oreo crumbs and beat to mix together.
  • Cover the cookie mixture with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the cookie mixture from the refrigerator and roll into tablespoon sized balls (a small cookie scoop works great for this).
  • Place the candy melts each in a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt per the the package directions.
    Usually you'll heat in 15 to 30 second intervals, checking and stirring between heating each time so that the candy doesn't burn.
  • Remove the cookie balls from the refrigerator and dip balls in the melted chocolate using a fork. Coat the Oreo ball truffles completely and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  • Place dipped balls on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and immediately add candy eyes.
  • Place the finished Oreo balls back into the refrigerator and allow the chocolate shell to harden completely before serving.
