Mix the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor. Add cream cheese and mix until the cream cheese is no longer visible. Refrigerate for 30 min. to 2 hours. Roll the mixture into walnut sized balls and place on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 2 hours or over night.
When ready to decorate, melt the candy melts in a microwave safe dish on high for 30 second intervals to be sure not to burn. Stir and heat until completely melted.
Remove truffles from the freezer and place one at a time on a skewer and dip in the melted candy melts. Bang the skewer on the edge of the bowl lightly to remove excess chocolate. Immediately place a red Smartie in the center of the ball. Stand up in a tall glass to dry. Once dry add the pupil with black icing. Squeeze on the red gel for the blood shot eyes.
