These adorable ghost-shaped OREO ball truffles are creamy, chocolatey, and perfect for Halloween parties or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 OREO cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Black icing or edible marker
  • Optional: Sprinkles or candy eyes for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crush the OREOs: In a food processor, blitz the OREOs until they turn into fine crumbs. If using a zip-top bag, crush them until there are no large chunks left.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the OREO crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated and you have a smooth, moldable dough.
  3. Shape the truffles: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture into even balls. Roll each portion between your hands to smooth them out.
  4. Chill: Place the OREO balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. This helps them firm up before dipping.
  5. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring after each round, until smooth.
  6. Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each OREO ball in white chocolate. Let the excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined tray.
  7. Create the faces: Once the coating has set, use black icing or an edible marker to draw spooky ghost faces on each truffle.
  8. Chill again: Refrigerate until the chocolate has fully hardened, about 10 minutes.
  9. Serve: Arrange the ghost truffles on a festive platter and watch them disappear!

Notes

[‘Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.’, ‘Chill the truffles before dipping to prevent crumbling.’, ‘Thin the chocolate with coconut oil or vegetable shortening if needed.’, ‘Practice drawing ghost faces on parchment paper before decorating the truffles.’, ‘Work in batches to keep the chocolate coating smooth.’]
