These delicious Pumpkin Oreo Balls are fun to make and a perfect treat to serve at your next fall party. Sweet Oreos are turned into a no-bake dessert that is flavored with cream cheese and pumpkin spice.
Place the Oreo cookies in a large bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You can also pulse them in a food processor for a few seconds
36 Golden Oreo Cookies
In a large bowl, add the crushed cookies and add the softened cream cheese and pumpkin spice and blend together until completely combined.
8 ounces cream cheese, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Using a 1 ½ inch cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the dough and roll into balls and place them on a large plate or cookie sheet.
Place the rolled balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
After chilling the oreo balls, place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds and then stir. Repeat for another 30 seconds and stir again if necessary.
12 ounces orange candy melts
Dip cookie balls in the melted candy to fully coated (tap on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate), then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Immediately press a pretzel stick into the top of the ball for the pumpkin stem and add a green M&M next to the pretzel for the leaf.
15 pretzel sticks, 30 green M&M’s
Return the balls to the refrigerator to chill for another 30 minutes or until the candy has hardened completely..
Notes
Use regular oreos or pumpkin spice oreos instead of golden oreos.Melt the candy using a double boiler per package directions.Use low fat or full fat cream cheese.Make a pumpkin leaf by using green frosting with a frosting tip.Add a little coconut oil to the melted candy to create a little more shiny candy coating.Use a toothpick to create 5-6 lines along the sides of the ball to create a more pumpkin like look.Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
