Ingredient list

4 oz. brick cream cheese, softened
18 OREO Cookies, crushed
3 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
12 Mini OREO Cookie, quartered
2 Tbsp. mini candy eyeballs
1 Tbsp. small hot cinnamon candies
12 miniature marshmallows, cut diagonally in half

Directions

Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended; shape into 24 (1-inch) balls. Place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 min.

Dip balls, 1 at a time, in melted chocolate, turning to evenly coat each ball. Return to baking sheet. Immediately use small knife or toothpick to dab some of the remaining chocolate onto cookie balls, pulling chocolate away from ball to resemble spiky fur. Decorate with cookie pieces and remaining ingredients to resemble werewolf faces as shown in photo, shaping marshmallow pieces into pointed fangs and securing pieces with remaining melted chocolate if necessary.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

How to Easily Dip Cookie BallsKeep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted chocolate. Then, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; let stand until firm. NOTE: If chocolate becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to each 16 oz. of chocolate.
Special Extra
Dip mini candy eyeballs halfway into melted chocolate before using to decorate cookie balls as directed.
