36 Oreo cookies
8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
12 oz (340 g) orange candy melts
Small pretzel sticks (for stems)

Instructions
-
Crush Oreos in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
-
Mix in softened cream cheese until fully combined into a smooth dough.
-
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 15 minutes.
-
Score gentle vertical lines around each ball with a toothpick to mimic pumpkins. Chill for 10 more minutes.

Chill until firm. Serve chilled or store for later.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth blending.
Microwave candy melts in short bursts to prevent burning.
Chill balls between steps to maintain shape during dipping.
Substitute candy melts with dyed white chocolate if needed.
