Instructions
Crush Oreos using a food processor. Make sure to get as fine as possible. It should resemble wet sand in texture.
In a stand mixer combine crushed Oreos and the block of cream cheese. Mix on low until it is all combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
Place the cookie balls onto a large lined sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the pan into the freezer for at least 45 minutes.
When cookie balls are ready, prepare the coating. In a microwave-safe bowl melt the white almond bark in the microwave for 60 seconds, take out and stir. Place back into the microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring in between until the almond bark is melted completely and smooth.
Then stir in a few drops of orange food coloring. You can add more food coloring to get your desired color.
Take the cookie balls out of the freezer and drop them 1 or 2 at a time into the orange melted almond bark. Roll and coat the truffle to ensure it is completely covered. Using a fork lift up the truffle and let the excess drip off (do not poke with the fork prongs). Place the coated ball back on the parchment lined sheet pan.
Before the coating hardens, place a green M&M on top. Continue with dipping the rest of the cookie balls and adding a green M&M on top. Once they are all done, place tray back into the refrigerator for 15 mins or until the almond bark is set.
Once they are set, take them back out of the refrigerator. Using the black gel icing, pipe on jack-o-lantern faces. Then enjoy!
Notes
Colored candy melts can be used in place of the almond bark.
Make sure to let these chill, once after making the balls and then after coating.
Use gel food coloring not the liquid kind. Liquid can make the chocolate seize up.
These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
Use any of your favorite Oreo flavors.
You can use regular Oreos instead of Double Stuf if you'd like.
