Step 2: Shape the Ornaments
- Roll into Balls: Using a small scoop or tablespoon, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Insert Sticks or Hooks: Insert a lollipop stick or small hook into each ball for easier handling and the ornament effect.
- Chill: Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Step 3: Dip and Decorate
- Melt the Candy Coating: Melt the white candy melts or white chocolate according to the package instructions. If you’re using colored candy melts, melt them separately.
- Dip the Oreo Balls: Using the lollipop stick, dip each Oreo ball into the melted candy, coating it completely. Let the excess drip off.
- Decorate: Before the coating hardens, sprinkle your choice of decorations over the Oreo balls. Be creative—mix colors and textures to make them look like real ornaments!
Step 4: Set and Serve
- Cool: Place the decorated Oreo ornaments back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating is firm.
- Serve or Gift: Once set, your Oreo Ornaments are ready to be enjoyed or packaged for gifting!
Tips for Success:
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
- Chill for Easier Dipping: If your Oreo balls feel too soft for dipping, pop them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Decorate Quickly: Candy melts harden fast, so have your sprinkles and decorations ready before you start dipping.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
