Ingredients
4 cups crushed Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
12 oz red candy melts
12 oz blue candy melts
1/3 cup Ghirardelli white melting wafers
White star confetti sprinkles
Parchment-lined baking trays
Food processor
Hand mixer
Instructions
Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 10-15 seconds)
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth
Spoon mixture into 1-inch-sized balls and place on prepared baking trays
Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm
Melt red and blue candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls, stirring until smooth
Working one at a time, dip Oreo balls into red candy melt, let drip slightly, then into blue candy melt for alternating stripe effect
Melt white melting wafers for final drizzle and sprinkle with star confetti
Let set at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving
Notes
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing
To prevent clumping, keep Oreo mixture chilled during shaping
Candy melts should be melted in 30-second intervals and stirred carefully to avoid overheating
Store in single layer on parchment paper in the fridge for up to 3 days
