Ingredients

Scale

Oreos Mixture

36 Oreos
8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melting Coating

2 cups white melting wafers
2 cups light green melting wafers
2 cups purple melting wafers
3 tablespoons Crisco shortening

Decorations

Green, purple, and black long jimmy sprinkles
Candy eyes (multiple sizes)

Instructions

Crush Oreos: In a food processor, slightly break the Oreos apart and pulse until they are fine crumbs.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to blend for 1-2 minutes until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms.
Shape Balls: Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and roll each portion into a smooth, round ball with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Chill Dough Balls: Refrigerate the cookie sheet with Oreo balls for 2 hours to firm up.
Melt Wafers: Near the end of chilling, prepare melting wafers one color at a time: microwave wafers at 50% power or defrost mode for 1 minute, stir, add 1 tablespoon of Crisco shortening, and microwave in 30-second increments until smooth and silky.
Dip Balls: Using two forks or dipping tools, dip 6-7 Oreo balls into the melted wafers, coating completely. Remove excess coating by scraping the forks or gently swinging the balls side to side, then place back on the cookie sheet.
Decorate: Immediately add candy eyes and sprinkle the long green, purple, and black jimmy sprinkles on top to create spooky monster faces.
Repeat Coating & Decorating: Repeat melting, dipping, and decorating steps for each color of melting wafers.
Final Chill: Chill all decorated Oreo balls for another 30 minutes before serving to set the coating.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
Work with one melting wafer color at a time for best coating results.
Add Crisco shortening to melting wafers to achieve a silky, smooth texture perfect for dipping.
Store finished Monster Oreo Balls in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
These treats are perfect for Halloween parties and kid-friendly gatherings.
