Halloween Oreo Truffles

Ingredients

• 36 Oreo cookies (regular stuffed, filling included)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened at room temp)
• 8 ounces orange melting wafers
• 5 small pretzel sticks (each halved for a total of 10 sticks)
• 10 green M&M's
• 10 ounces white melting wafers (divided into 8 ounces and 2 ounces)
• 20 small candy eyeballs
• 8 ounces chocolate melting wafers
• assorted Halloween sprinkles (in orange, green, purple, and white)

Method

1. Place the Oreos in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize into small crumbs.
2. Add the cream cheese into the food processor, and process until the mixture is fully combined and clumps into a “dough”.
3. Use a 1-tablespoon sized scoop to make balls of the mixture, and place each ball on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
4. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm the dough a bit.
5. Roll each ball between the palms of your hands to form a smooth ball. Place the tray back into the freezer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
6. To Make the Pumpkin Truffles
7. Put the orange melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the wafers are melted and smooth.
8. Working with one ball at a time, dip the firm ball into the melted orange wafer candy, turning it gently to coat completely. Use a fork to lift it out, tap off the excess coating, and place the coated ball on a baking sheet lined with clean parchment paper.
9. Immediately insert half a small pretzel stick into the center of the truffle so a small part of it sticks out (for the pumpkin stem). Immediately place a green M&M next to the pretzel (for a leaf).
10. Continue this way until all the pumpkin truffles are made.
11. To Make the Mummy Truffles
12. Put 8 ounces of white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the wafers are melted and smooth.
13. Working with one ball at a time, place the firm ball into the melted white wafer candy, turning it gently to coat completely. Use a fork to lift it out, tap off the excess coating, and place the coated ball on a baking sheet lined with clean parchment paper. Continue this way until all the mummy truffles are coated.
14. Melt the remaining 2 ounces of white melting wafers the same way. Transfer the melted candy to a small zip-top bag, and snip off one corner of the bag. Working with one mummy truffle at a time, drizzle the white melted candy across one truffle to look like mummy bandages, and immediately put on 2 candy eyes.
15. Continue this way until all the mummy truffles are made.
16. To Make the Halloween Sprinkle Truffles
17. Put 8 ounces of chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the wafers are melted and smooth.
18. Working with one ball at a time, dip the firm ball into the melted chocolate wafer candy, turning it gently to coat completely. Use a fork to lift it out, tap off the excess coating, and place the coated ball on a baking sheet lined with clean parchment paper.
19. Once coated, immediately top with assorted Halloween sprinkles.
20. Continue this way until all the Halloween truffles are made.
