Patriotic Oreo Balls

I saw these on Facebook and wanted to save/share them but I don't like using Facebook like Pinterest because it's hard to go back and find them. I prefer Pinterest for my recipe finds because I know where they are and they are easily accessible from my computer or my phone. I tried pinning these but since Pinterest only allows 500 characters, I was unable to so I decided to make a blog post and pin from here. I do not know who the recipe comes from. The post I found was by Nai'a's Knits By The Sea on Facebook. Here is what was posted by the page:

I am so excited to try making these to bring to the fireworks this 4th of July. Has anyone made these before?
