Description
These easy no-bake Halloween Truffles combine crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese in a rich, creamy center, coated with white chocolate and decorated with candy eyes and mummy-style chocolate stripes. They make a fun, festive treat for Halloween parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 18 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 48 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Alternatively, crush them in a sealed zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
- Combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined and the mixture holds together.
- Roll the mixture into approximately 24 balls, about 1½ inches wide, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate the truffle centers for about 1 hour, or until firm.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers in a dry, heat-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals at about 70% power, stirring between intervals until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated truffles on the lined tray.
- Once the coating has set, drizzle thin lines of melted white chocolate over each truffle to resemble mummy bandages.
- While the decorative drizzle is still wet, add two candy eyeballs to each truffle. If the drizzle has hardened, attach the eyes with a small dot of melted white chocolate.
- Allow the coating to set completely. Refrigerate the truffles in an airtight container until serving.
Notes
- Fine cookie crumbs help create a smooth, evenly mixed filling.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing.
- Chill the truffle centers thoroughly before dipping so they hold their shape.
- Keep all bowls and utensils completely dry when melting white chocolate; even a little water can cause it to seize.
- If the coating becomes too thick, gently rewarm it in short intervals. A very small amount of neutral vegetable oil may help thin it if compatible with the chocolate product.
- For cleaner white stripes, use fresh melted white chocolate for decorating if the dipping chocolate has picked up cookie crumbs.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator because the truffles contain cream cheese. Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator.
