HALLOWEEN OREO TRUFFLES : Witch Truffles

ngredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) regular Oreos
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese at room temperature
• 1 bag (12 ounces) Dark Green Candy Melts
• 36-40 Large Edible eyes
• 1 package black licorice
• 18-20 Thin Oreos
• 18-20 Hershey's kisses
• Optional: small green sprinkles, vegetable oil

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 candy melts according to package directions. 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. Unwrap a kiss and dip the bottom of it into the melted chocolate. Press the kiss into the center of the oreo Thins.
7. Place an Oreo ball on a fork and then spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the ball. Tap the fork holding the ball to remove excess chocolate.
8. Slide the ball carefully onto parchment paper and immediately (it hardens quickly) press the hat on to the top of the oreo ball. Hold the edible eyes into the center. Press a "wart" small green sprinkle below the eye.
9. Cut the licorice into small pieces and attach as "hair" below the hat.
10. Allow to dry.
