Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- Green food coloring
- Black food coloring
- Small candy eyeballs
- Mini chocolate chips, for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Finely crush the Oreo cookies. You can use a food processor or place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies 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 freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Step 4: Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package directions. Divide the melted chocolate into two bowls. Add green food coloring to one bowl and stir until you achieve your desired shade of green. Leave the other bowl white.
- Step 5: Dip each truffle into the green melted chocolate, tapping off any excess. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately attach a candy eyeball to each truffle while the chocolate is still wet. Add a small dot of black food coloring near the eyeball to make the eye pop.
- Step 6: If desired, attach mini chocolate chips as decoration. Let the truffles chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Store leftover Oreo Eyeball Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to keep them firm and fresh.
- These truffles are best served chilled directly from the refrigerator, enhancing their creamy texture and chocolatey flavor, making them a perfect spooky treat.
- For a smoother melted chocolate, add a teaspoon of coconut oil while melting the wafers to prevent them from becoming too thick and gloppy.
- If the green chocolate starts to set before you've finished dipping, microwave it in 10-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, to restore its smooth consistency.
