Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces white chocolate, melted
- Green candy melts
- Blue candy melts
- Mini chocolate chips
- Red food coloring
- Black food coloring
Instructions
- Step 1: Finely crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Step 3: Roll the Oreo mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 4: Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, coating completely. Place back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Step 5: While the white chocolate is still wet, create the "iris" of the eyeball by adding a small amount of melted green or blue candy melts to the center. Add a mini chocolate chip to the center of the candy melt to create the pupil. Use a toothpick and small dabs of red food coloring to make small veins across the white chocolate.
- Step 6: Let the truffles set completely in the refrigerator before serving. Use black food coloring and a toothpick to add details to the truffles if desired.
Notes
- Store these spooky treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to keep them firm and fresh.
- Reheating isn't recommended, but if the chocolate blooms (develops a white coating), a gentle wipe with a soft cloth can help restore the shine.
- Serve these Oreo Eyeball Truffles on a platter alongside other Halloween treats for a truly ghoulish display.
- For a smoother truffle, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing with the crushed Oreos.
