Oreo Acorn Balls

I posted a recipe for maple acorn sugar cookies last week. They are dreamy, and SO cute, and worth all the time they require. But my love for acorns couldn’t stop there, so we’re back with another acorn treat!

You probably already know that Ryan loves squirrels.

So much so that he subscribed to Wally the Squirrel’s youtube channel! If you’re confused, Wally is a family’s pet squirrel and they post videos of him on his own youtube channel.

Only 11,000 people have subscribed to his youtube channel, but I bet you that all of those people are serious squirrel lovers.

Ingredients:

• 1 package peanut butter oreos 15.25 oz, pulsed in food processor
• 1 package regular cream cheese 8 oz, softened
• chocolate candiquik
• 1 tbsp crisco, vegetable shortening
• Brown sprinkles, I used chocolate flakes but brown jimmies work great too!
• Pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces

Directions:

1. Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
2. Put half of the oreos in the food processor and pulse until you have oreo crumbs. Add the other half of the oreos to the food processor and pulse again, until all the oreos are fine crumbs.
