HALLOWEEN OREO TRUFFLES : Frankenstein Truffles

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) regular Oreos
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese at room temperature
• 1 bag (12 ounces) vibrant green candy melts
• 2-3 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 40 edible eyes
• 36-40 pretzels
• Black sparkle gel
• Brown jimmie sprinkles

Instructions

1. Pulse the full oreos (no need to separate cream from cookie) in a food processor or blender until it is in crumbs.
2. Using a hand held mixer, beat the Oreos and cream cheese together until well combined.
3. Roll the mixture into balls.
4. Chill the balls, covered tightly, for an hour in the fridge.
5. Once the balls are chilled, melt the chocolate in the microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between each burst until melted. You may need a teaspoon (or a few) of vegetable oil to get the chocolate thin enough to dip in. Every chocolate is a little different so if needed, I'll just add the oil slowly until it coats the oreo truffles well.
6. Place a ball on a fork and then spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the ball. Tap the fork holding the ball to remove excess chocolate.
7. Top the Frankenstein with sprinkles.
8. Press and hold two edible eyes onto the truffle. Break the pretzels at the ends and push the ends into each side.
9. Allow to dry. Using the black sparkle gel, pipe a zig-zag below the eyes to form a mouth.
