1/3cupbrown sprinkles
Thin black licorice
Instructions
In a large blender or food processor, process the OREO's until they resemble crumbs.
Beat together the room temperature cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.
Shape the mixture into 48 (1-inch) balls and then freeze the balls for ten minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. (I like to separate the chocolate and do 2-3 batches so it stays nice and melted while dipping the cookie balls in) Microwave in bursts of 20 seconds stirring for 15 seconds in between each burst until the chocolate is fully melted.
Dip the balls in the melted chocolate (add more vegetable oil to thin the chocolate if needed) and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Before it dries, sprinkle the top of the balls with brown sprinkles and then press two candy eyes onto each ball.
Cut the licorice with scissors and press into the cookie ball. Do this before the chocolate has a chance to harden. It's helpful to insert two legs (one on each side) at a time to get leverage to press the legs fully in.
