1 pkg. (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
36 Golden OREO Cookies, finely crushed
24 Mini Golden OREO Bite Size Cookies
4 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate, melted
few drops yellow food coloring

Directions

Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended; shape into 48 (1-inch) oval-shaped balls. Place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 min.

Meanwhile, separate mini cookies; discard cream. Cut each cookie in half with serrated knife.

Tint white chocolate with food coloring. Dip balls, 1 at a time, in colored chocolate, turning to evenly coat each ball. Return to baking sheet. Immediately add candy button eyes.

Spoon semi-sweet chocolate into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe stripes across backs of balls to resemble photo. Add cookie pieces for wings.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.
