What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid overmixing the Oreo and cream cheese mixture, as it can become too dense.
- Avoid overheating the green candy melts, as it can cause them to become too thick or clumpy.
- Be careful when dipping the Oreo balls into the candy melts to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Do not skip chilling the Oreo balls before dipping them in the candy coating, as they may be too soft to handle.
- Avoid placing the red heart-shaped sprinkles on the balls before the candy coating sets, as they may not adhere properly.
