16ouncescolored candy melts - one orange, one white(2) 8-ounce bags
½cuppre-made green icing
16pretzel sticks,each one broken in half
Fall colored sprinkles
Instructions
Place golden Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become a fine crumb.
Add the cream cheese, salted butter, pumpkin spice and vanilla extract to the Oreo cookie crumbs in the food processor and blend together. Note: you may need to scrape down the bowl as you blend because the mixture can get caught and be sticky and not fully combine.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop out the Oreo batter.
Then roll each into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Push each pretzel stick piece into the tops of the Oreo balls. Make sure to leave enough at the top to allow you to dip the cookie balls into chocolate later.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.
When cookie balls are ready, start melting the chocolate. Using microwave safe bowls, melt the colored candy melts according to the package directions
Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer and begin to coat each one in chocolate by holding onto the top of the pretzel stick and dipping it down into the melted chocolate.
Add the sprinkles immediately after dipping the balls into the chocolate before it hardens or else it won't stick.
Optional: Once you assemble all the Pumpkin Oreo Balls, pipe green leaves onto each one and place them in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to fully harden. Then enjoy!
Notes
Other chocolate can be used, see above on what kinds.
Make sure that you chill the balls before dipping so that they do not fall apart.
These will appear oily, that is normal.
These can be decorated for other occasions using other decorations and colors of candy melts.
