Win any Halloween party with these adorable witch cookie balls! Candy coating makes the green faces, and these yummy chocolate treats are easy to decorate with candy.

## Ingredients

- 30 OREO Cookies, divided
- 4 oz. brick cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz. green candy coating wafers, melted
- 3 oz. black string licorice, cut into 1-inch lengths
- 1 Tbsp. candy-coated chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp. sprinkles or confetti candy
- 24 chocolate candies
- 24 foil-wrapped milk chocolate pieces

## Directions

1. Split 12 cookies; remove and discard creme filling.
2. Crush remaining cookies; mix with cream cheese until blended. Shape into 24 (1-inch) balls; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 min.
3. Dip balls, 1 at a time, in coating, turning to evenly coat each ball. Return to baking sheet, allowing excess coating to pool at bottom of each ball. Immediately decorate with licorice, candy-coated chips and sprinkles to resemble witch heads as shown in photo.
4. Refrigerate 30 min. Top with cookie halves and chocolate candies for the witches' hats, securing all pieces with remaining candy coating. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

## Tips

- Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
- Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted coating. Then, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted coating. Use 2 forks to roll balls in coating until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess coating drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; let stand until firm. If coating becomes too thick, add up to 1 tsp. shortening to each 8 oz. of candy wafers.
- Prepare using 2 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate tinted with a few drops of green food coloring.
- If coating becomes too thick, add up to 1 tsp. shortening to each 8 oz. of candy wafers.
