1. Crush the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
3. Mix until a smooth and well-combined dough forms.

6. Melt the orange candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
