This rat-shaped chocolate cheese ball is covered in OREO Cookie crumbs and is decorated with pink cream cheese frosting. It will make a creepy Halloween dessert for your party.
Reserve ⅔ cup crumbs and 1 ounce cream cheese.
Stir the remaining crumbs and cream cheese together and pinch off about 3 tablespoons and set aside, then shape the rest into a rat shape.
Roll into the reserved cookie crumbs.
Place on a serving platter.
Pinch off small amounts of the reserved dough and roll into 2 short skinny front legs and two longer wider back legs.
Pinch off two small balls of dough and flatten them into ears and attach them to the head.
Press the two chocolate chips onto either side of the rat's face.
Blend the remaining cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pink food coloring together.
Combine the remaining cream cheese with the powdered sugar and the pink food coloring.
Spoon into a pastry bag fitted with a # 12 decorating tip.
Pipe a pink cream cheese frosting tail, nose, and ears onto the cheese ball rat.
Change the tip to a #3 and pipe on toes.
