Monster Oreo Balls

In a food processor, add Oreos (break them apart slightly while adding) and crush until they are fine crumbs.

In a large mixing bowl, combine oreos, cream cheese and vanilla extract. Mix with an eclectic hand or stand mixer for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and one dough-like mixture is formed.

Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough from the bowl and form into an even, smooth, round ball using the palms of your hands. Place each ball on a large cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper.

Place a cookie sheet inside the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.

Near the end of the chill time, begin to prepare the melting wafers. Working one color at a time. Place the wafers in a microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power or on defrost mode for 1 minute. Stir with a fork and add 1 tablespoon of crisco. Return to the microwave for additional 30 seconds bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and silky. It should have the consistency of dressing.

Dip 6-7 oreo balls inside the chocolate using two forks or dipping tools, coating it completely before adding it back on the cookie sheet. Be sure to scrape the bottoms of your forks or dipping tools to remove any excess chocolate. You can also gently sling the ball from side to side to remove any excess.

Immediately add candy eyes and sprinkles to the top of the ball. You can add candy eyes wherever to create fun and spooky monsters.

Repeat steps 5-7 for each color of melting wafers.

Allow all monsters to chill for another 30 minutes before serving.
