Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Oreo Balls
  1. Begin by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse them until they reach a fine, crumbly consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl with the crushed Oreos. Mix them together thoroughly until well combined and creamy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Scoop out about 1-inch portions of the Oreo mixture and roll them into smooth balls with your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  4. After chilling, take the balls out and use a toothpick to score lines along the sides of each ball to create a textured pattern resembling pumpkin ridges.
  5. Melt the orange candy melts using a double boiler on the stovetop or a microwave, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Dip each ball into the melted candy coating and immediately press a pretzel stick into the top. Add green icing or decorations and allow them to set in the refrigerator.
