Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Process the Oreos into fine crumbs. Add the softened cream cheese and pulse until completely combined into a thick dough.
Step 2: Scoop about 1½ tablespoons per truffle. Roll into a ball, then shape into a rounded gumdrop with a slightly narrower top and wider base. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
Step 3: Melt the white wafers according to package directions. Dip each chilled truffle, allow the excess coating to drip off, and return it to the baking sheet. Let the coating set completely.
Step 4: Lightly dust a clean work surface with powdered sugar. Roll the fondant to about ⅛ inch thick or slightly thinner and cut into 3-inch circles. Roll each circle slightly thinner until drapeable.
Step 5: Drape one fondant circle over each truffle. Smooth it gently over the top and arrange the excess into loose folds around the bottom.
Step 6: Add two small eyes and an oval mouth with black decorating icing. Allow the decorations to set before serving.

Shape First: Form gumdrop-shaped rather than round centers to give the fondant enough height to create the ghost silhouette.
Chill Before Dipping: Refrigerate the centers for the full 30 minutes so they're firm enough to hold their shape in the warm coating.
Let the Coating Set: Let the white coating set completely before adding the fondant so you have time to position the cloak and arrange the folds.
Keep Fondant Thin: Roll it to about ⅛ inch or slightly thinner for a light, flowing cloak.
