Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place Oreos in a food processor or blender.  Blend until they become fine crumbs.
  • Transfer crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add cream cheese to crumbs and beat with an electric mixer until mixture is uniform.
  • Use a cookie scoop to make 1-inch balls.  Roll them in your hands until they are round and smooth.  Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Melt the green candy melts as directed on the package and transfer to a small ziplock baggie. Cut a small corner of the bag off and pipe leaves onto a piece of parchment paper.  Place leaves in the refrigerator until hardened.
  • Use a toothpick to create the lines of the pumpkins.  Refrigerate again for an additional 10 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt orange candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring often.
  • Using a fork, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate until covered.  Allow excess chocolate to drip off.  Place dipped ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  
  • Carefully place eyeballs on the pumpkin face and press ⅓ of a pretzel stick into the top of the pumpkin along with a leaf. 
  • Put chocolate chips into a small ziplock baggie and microwave in 30-second intervals until melted.
  • Cut a very small corner of the baggie off and pipe a mouth onto each pumpkin face.
  • Refrigerate until candy coating has hardened.

Notes

  • If melted orange candy melts are too thick, stir in a little coconut oil.
  • To store, place your pumpkins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to six days. 
  • Place your pumpkin balls in an airtight container and freeze for up to 5 months.
