Description
These Ghost Oreo Ball Truffles are an easy, no-bake Halloween treat perfect for parties and festive fun. Made with crushed Oreo cookies and creamy cream cheese, then dipped in rich white chocolate and decorated with spooky edible eyes or sprinkles, these ghost-shaped truffles are quick to prepare and delightfully tasty.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Oreo Balls
- 36 Oreo Cookies (swap for gluten-free Oreos if needed)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
For the Coating and Decoration
- 12 oz white chocolate (milk or dark chocolate can be substituted)
- Sprinkles or edible eyes (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs, ensuring an even texture.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Shape them slightly to resemble ghost figures for a fun Halloween theme.
- Chill the Shapes: Place the ghost-shaped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring well between each interval until completely smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Dip each chilled ghost truffle fully into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off for a clean coating.
- Add Decorations: While the chocolate coating is still wet, decorate with sprinkles or edible eyes to create spooky faces.
- Set the Coating: Let the coated ghost truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer taste and smoother texture.
- If gluten is a concern, substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free Oreo cookies.
- White chocolate can be replaced with milk or dark chocolate for different flavors.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For faster setting, you can place the dipped truffles in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes instead of room temperature.
