Scale
- 18 oz Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz red candy melts
- 12 oz blue candy melts

Instructions
- Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Mix the Oreo crumbs into the cream cheese until fully combined.

- Place the Oreo balls on the prepared trays and chill for 2 hours.
- Melt the blue candy melts over low heat or in the microwave in 30-second intervals.

- Chill the coated balls while preparing the red coating.
- Melt the red candy melts until smooth.
- Dip the remaining Oreo balls into the red coating and return them to the tray.
- Melt the white melting wafers in a piping bag and drizzle over the red-coated Oreo balls.

Notes
- Use regular Oreos instead of double-stuffed for the best texture.
- Keep the Oreo balls chilled before dipping for smoother coating.
- Stir candy melts every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
- Store the finished Oreo balls in the refrigerator until serving.
- Freeze leftovers in an airtight container with parchment between layers.
