Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 36 Oreos finely crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups light green melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup black or dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Crisco shortening
  • black sprinkles long, not round
  • pretzel sticks
  • small candy eyes

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, roll the mixture into balls and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  • Gently press down on each ball to flatten the top and shape them into squares for Frankenstein's head.
  • Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
  • While chilling, melt the green melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, adding Crisco for smooth consistency.
  • Once chilled, dip each Oreo ball into the green melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Immediately sprinkle black sprinkles on the flattened top and position candy eyes on the front of each ball.
  • Break pretzel sticks into 1-inch pieces and insert them into the sides of the Oreo balls as Frankenstein's bolts.
  • Melt the black chocolate wafers and pipe features onto each ball using a small Ziploc bag.
  • Chill the decorated Oreo balls for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
