Ingredients

36 oreo cookies 14 ounce package*
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
12 ounces light green candy melts
red heart sprinkles

Instructions

Place oreo cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add cream cheese and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until creamy and smooth. Add oreo crumbs half at a time and mix until fully incorporated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper (choose one that will fit into your refrigerator/freezer).
Using your hands, roll oreo mixture into 1 inch balls (or use a small cookie scoop for even portioning). Place oreo balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate oreo balls for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
In a microwave safe bowl, add melting wafers and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until melted.
Remove a portion of oreo balls from the refrigerator and carefully dip balls one at a time in melted candy coating. I recommend piercing each ball with a toothpick and using it to gently roll and coat each ball with candy coating. Gently tap to remove excess coating before placing back onto lined baking sheet.
Remove the toothpick and quickly add a heart sprinkle while candy coating is still wet.
Return oreo balls to the refrigerator and allow to set for 30 minutes before serving.
Store oreo balls in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

*Oreo package size: Package sizes for Oreo cookies can vary. Any package between 13-14 ounces works in this recipe, which equals between 33 to 36 cookies.
