These Thanksgiving cookie balls will surely be the cutest holiday dessert ever! OREO Cookie balls get decorated like a turkey with candy corn, candy eyes and icing.

## Tips

- Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
- If candy coating becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to each 16 oz. of candy wafers.
- Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted candy coating. Then, dip in small batches for best results.
- Prepare using melted semi-sweet baking chocolate or white baking chocolate instead of the melted candy wafers.
