Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Oreo Balls
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Notes
For best results, chill the pumpkin balls before dipping, ensure cream cheese is softened, and be creative with decorations.
