👩‍🍳 Instructions – How to Make Pumpkin Oreo Balls

Step 1: Make the Oreo Filling

1. Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
2. Add softened cream cheese and blend again until fully combined into a sticky dough.

Step 2: Shape Into Balls

1. Scoop the mixture into 1-inch balls and roll them smooth with your hands.
2. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes until firm.

Step 3: Dip in Orange Coating

1. Melt the orange candy melts in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
2. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball into the melted coating, letting the excess drip off.
3. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper.

Step 4: Decorate Like Pumpkins

1. While the coating is still wet, gently press a small piece of pretzel stick into the top of each ball for the pumpkin “stem.”
2. Use green icing, melted green candy melts, or a small green candy to make a leaf or vine shape next to the stem.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Let the coating fully set (you can pop them back in the fridge for faster setting), then serve or store in an airtight container.

💡 Tips & Tricks

• Chill the mixture well before dipping to keep your pumpkin shapes from falling apart.
• Use a toothpick to draw pumpkin ridges in the coating before it sets for extra detail.
• Don’t have orange candy melts? Use white chocolate and add orange gel food coloring (avoid water-based coloring as it can seize the chocolate).
• Want variety? Try using pumpkin spice Oreos for extra fall flavor!

🧡 From Me to You: My Extra Touch

I love packaging these Pumpkin Oreo Balls in little fall-themed treat boxes or bags with a tag that says, “Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice.” They also make a beautiful edible addition to a fall dessert charcuterie board with caramel popcorn, mini pies, and chocolate-covered pretzels.

And if you’re planning a kids' Halloween party, let them decorate their own pumpkins with candy eyes or fun sprinkles — instant fun and sugar-filled smiles guaranteed!
