Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- Red food coloring or red decorating gel
- Mini candy eyes or dark chocolate chips
- Optional: colored food gel for iris (green, blue, etc.)
- Optional: sprinkles, edible markers, or decorative pens
Instructions
- Make the truffle base: Pulse chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely crushed. Mix in softened cream cheese until fully combined.
- Form the truffles: Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
- Coat with white chocolate: Melt white candy melts or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each chilled truffle into the coating and return to the tray.
- Decorate the eyeballs: Before the coating sets, press a candy eye or chocolate chip into the center. Add veins with red gel and iris colors with food gel or markers.
- Set and serve: Chill until fully set. Serve in Halloween cupcake liners or on a spooky platter.
Notes
- Make ahead: Store undecorated truffles in the fridge for 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- No food processor? Crush cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
- Variations: Add peanut butter, mint extract, or pumpkin spice to the base mixture for unique flavors.
- Use parchment paper: Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate: Melt in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid clumping or scorching.
