Main Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz orange candy melts
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed, or put them in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the crushed Oreos to a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until fully combined into a uniform dough-like consistency.
- Form Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before dipping.
- Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the orange candy melts in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted candy melts, ensuring they are completely coated.
- Set Coating: Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and allow the candy coating to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
- Serve: Once set, the Pumpkin Oreo Balls are ready to enjoy as a festive fall treat.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative for a vegan version.
- If orange candy melts are not available, white candy melts can be colored using oil-based orange food coloring.
- Store leftover Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For added detail, use black icing or edible markers to draw pumpkin faces on the candy coating once set.
