These easy dessert treats only require four ingredients and simple to make. The chocolately Oreo center is coated with colorful candy melts and candy eyes.
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.
