Ingredients
10regular Oreo cookiescrushed into small pieces (not Double Stuff)
1/2cupGreen Wilton's Melts
1/4cupwhite vanilla icinglike the icing in the tub
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
Place crushed Oreos and white vanilla icing in a large mixing bowl. Mix by hand. (If it seems like you need a little more icing, feel free to add it. Your Oreo/icing mixture should hold together when you make it into a ball.)
Form the cookie and icing mixture into small balls. Place them on the lined baking sheet.
When all the cookie mixture is used, place the cookie balls in the refrigerator or freezer for at least an hour. (You can even use leave them overnight.)
When ready to make the leprechaun treats, melt the green Wilton's melts according to the package directions. (Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until melted.)*
Remove cookie balls from the refrigerator. Working quickly and one at a time, place the cookie Oreo balls into the melted green chocolate. Use a fork to roll the cookie ball in the green chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the dish to remove the excess melted chocolate before placing it on the wax paper to set.**
Continue until all cookie balls have been dipped into the green chocolate and placed on the lined cookie sheet to set completely.
Once set, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
Notes
*SEE THE TIP IN THE POST FOR WHAT WE USE FOR MELTED CHOCOLATE RECIPES! SCROLL UP!**Working quickly because once the cookie balls start to get warm they will easily melt in the hot chocolate and your cookie balls will crumble. We made our Leprechaun poo balls pretty small and we got about 20 out of this recipe. The amount you get may vary based on how much you crush your Oreo cookies and how big or small you make the cookie balls.
