Ingredients

• 36 Oreo Cookies (swap for gluten-free Oreos if needed)
• 8 oz cream cheese (use full-fat for richer taste)
• 12 oz white chocolate (milk or dark chocolate can be used as alternatives)
• Sprinkles or edible eyes (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese and mix until smooth and well-blended.
3. Step 3: Scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, shaping them into ghost-like figures.
4. Step 4: Arrange the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for about 15 minutes.
5. Step 5: Melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth.
6. Step 6: Dip each ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating fully, and let the excess drip off.
7. Step 7: Before the chocolate sets, decorate with sprinkles or edible eyes as desired.
8. Step 8: Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, try using vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate.
• Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
• Shape the truffles into pumpkins or bats for more Halloween variety.
• Chill the truffles longer before dipping to help them hold their shape better.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture. They can also be frozen for up to one month—thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these truffles without a food processor?

Yes, you can place the Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground, though a food processor makes the process quicker and easier.

How do I prevent the white chocolate from seizing while melting?

Heat the chocolate in short bursts of 20-30 seconds in the microwave, stirring thoroughly between each burst. Avoid any water contact, as moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.

Truffle Mixture

• 36 Oreo Cookies (use gluten-free Oreos if preferred)
• 8 oz full-fat Cream Cheese, softened

Coating and Decoration

• 12 oz White Chocolate
• Sprinkles or Edible Eyes for decoration (optional)

Instructions

1. Pulse Oreo Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs, resembling coarse sand, ensuring no large chunks remain.

6. Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure it is completely covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
7. Decorate: Immediately before the white chocolate sets, add sprinkles or place edible eyes on each ghost to create fun, spooky faces.
8. Set the Coating: Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the white chocolate hardens completely, giving the truffles a crisp outer shell.
