Ingredients
The following ingredients have 288 Servings
- 1 package Oreo cookies (your favorite flavor variety)
- 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 4 cups candy melts (assorted colors for seasonal decorating)
- 1 tablespoon shortening (per 1/2 cup candy melts)
- candy eyes
- chocolate chips
Instruction
- Crush the Oreos with a blender or food processor. If you don't have either, fill a plastic baggie with Oreos and crush with hands or a kitchen mallet into fine crumbs.
- Use a hand mixer to combine the room temperature cream cheese with the Oreo crumbs. Blend until a smooth and sticky 'dough' forms and form into a ball shape. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch round balls. Arrange on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If the dough gets too sticky to work with, just pop it back into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up again. When all the dough is formed into balls, refrigerate the balls for 15 minutes
- Use about 1/2 cup of candy melts, in each color of your choice, and melt with 1 tablespoon of shortening to thin out the melts. Dip the end of a cake pop stick into each color and push into the center of each dough ball. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to harden the candy and secure the dough ball.
- Roll each dough ball on a stick in individual candy colors until they are completely coated. Arrange back on the parchment lined cookie sheet and refrigerate 5 minutes or until the candy has hardened.
- Decorate the cake balls for what ever holiday you happen to be celebrating! Refrigerate up to 1 week and enjoy!
