Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 12 ounces white candy melts
- 30 large Candy eyes
- Red decorating gel
Instructions
- Place the whole Oreo cookies in a large zip closure bag and crush them with a rolling pin. (or you can also pulse them in a food processor for a few seconds until crumbled)
- Place the crushed cookies into a medium bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Stir to mix until the ingredients come together.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll into balls.
- Place the oreo balls on a baking sheet or large plate lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- After they have chilled, add the candy melts to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds then stir and repeat for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir until melted.
- With a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted candy until fully coated. Tap it gently on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess and then place them back on the baking sheet.
- Place the coated Oreo balls back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes until the candy is hardened.
- Place a dollop of red decorating gel on the top of each ball and drizzle a 4 or 5 lines down the sides a little. Then press a candy eye on top of gel as pictured.
- Chill until ready to serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- For the "bloodshot" look, you can also use food coloring markers or use thin pieces or red licorice cut into tiny lines and drape them along the sides.
- If candy eyes are unavailable, you can also use m&m candies for the eyes or small dollops of dark chocolate or black, blue, or green edible gel.
- Use white chocolate chips or almond bark instead of white candy wafers. Be very careful not to overheat them when melting in the microwave or double boiler. It will become thick and unusable if you do. The bowl is usually warm enough to keep heating them while you stir.
- Add a cup of Rice Krispie cereal to the cookie mixture.
