Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then crush the oreos (with filling) in a blender or food processor.
Mix together the oreo crumbs and cream cheese with a hand mixer. If it isn't coming together, get your hands in there and mix it up.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Then roll into a ball with your hands and place onto the pan. Freeze for 10-15 minutes or until slightly firm. You don't want them too cold.
Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Get candy corn ready to press in. Then use a fork to dip the oreo balls into the chocolate. Tap on the edge of the bowl to get the smooth finish. Use a toothpick to help slide the ball onto the pan.
Immediately (before the chocolate hardens), press 5 candy corn pieces into the oreo ball in a fanned manner, making the turkey tail. Next press the Reese’s Pieces candy into the oreo ball for the turkey’s beak. If the chocolate has hardened before you are able to get to this step, you can dip the Reese’s Pieces slightly into the melted chocolate and hold it in place for about 20 seconds to adhere it.
Using a toothpick, put a tiny bit of melted chocolate on the back of the candy eyes and adhere them to the turkey.
Last, cut the corner off a sandwich bag and put some red icing into it. Then pipe the red icing onto the oreo ball to make the turkey’s wattle.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Storage: For best results, store these oreo balls in an air tight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 2 months. Variation:
You can use different flavor of oreos. The golden oreos also taste great.
If you run out of candy for decorating, simply dip the oreo balls in chocolate. You can always drizzle extra chocolate over top for a decorative touch.
