Apple Oreo Cookie Balls
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces red candy melts
- green M&Ms
- pretzel sticks, broken into 1/4" pieces
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place oreos in a stand mixer with paddle attachment. Mix at low speed until all of the oreos are crushed into a fine oreo crumble.
- Add cream cheese to the mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms.
- Cover the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll into tablespoon sized balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour to chill.
- Melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15 to 30 second intervals, checking and stirring each time so that the candy melts don't burn.
- Remove the cookie balls from the freezer and dip them in the melted chocolate.
- Place cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet and immediately top with an M&M and ¼” piece of pretzel.
- Place the apple oreo balls in the fridge and allow them to harden completely before serving.
