Oreo Eyeball Truffles
This was my first time making the oreo pops. Everyone always mixes the oreo cookies together with the cream cheese, making one black mess of oreos. I thought the whole essence of an oreo was that it has the cream in the center... so to stay true to the nature of the oreo, these pops have the cookie outer layer and the creamy center, with a thin chocolate coating.

I followed it exactly, except I scraped off the cream from each cookie and kept it separate. I rolled the cream into half inch balls, wiping my fingers after each one so they didn't get sticky. I would then take a bit of the cookie mixture and flatten it in a circle in my hand. I'd place a cream ball in the center, and then press the cookie mixture around it, forming a ball about 1 inch wide. They were definitely cracked and crumbly looking, but I set them in the freezer for about 20 minutes and then took about 6 at a time to dip in the chocolate. With these, I also made fondant eyes before the dipping process. I used an edible ink pen to draw the pupil, and then a toothpick and wilton green dye to make the pattern. I blotted my finger all over it until I reached the desired effect. Once the truffles were dipped and hardened, I used a dot of melted chocolate to press on the eyes.
