The best part is that you can get creative with decorations! {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by crushing the Oreo cookies. Place them in a food processor. Pulse until you get fine crumbs. This is key for the truffle texture. Next, add the softened cream cheese to the crumbs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and sticky. It should feel like dough when done. Now, take clean hands and grab a small amount of the mixture. Roll it into a ball, about 1 inch wide. Each truffle should be firm and round. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with easy removal later. Once all the balls are formed, chill them in the freezer. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to firm up. While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate chips. Use a microwave-safe bowl for this. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well each time. You want a smooth mixture without lumps. After the truffles have chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate. Ensure they are fully coated, then shake off extra chocolate. Place two mini chocolate chips on top to make ghost eyes. For a spooky touch, sprinkle edible black glitter or cocoa powder on top. Let the coating set for about 15 minutes. You can leave them at room temperature or in the fridge. To make the Oreo mixture just right, start with fresh cookies. Old cookies may not crush well. Use a food processor to get fine crumbs. This helps the mixture hold together. Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbs. Blend until it forms a thick dough. If it's too dry, add a bit more cream cheese. Try to roll the balls evenly for nice shapes. For the chocolate, use white chocolate chips. They melt easily and taste great. Combine the chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. This keeps the chocolate smooth and prevents burning. If it's too thick, add a little more coconut oil. Perfectly melted chocolate coats the truffles well. For a fun Halloween look, serve the truffles on a spooky platter. You can use fake spider webs or cute cupcake liners. Place the truffles close together for a nice display. Consider adding some edible black glitter for extra flair. This gives a spooky touch. Enjoy sharing your Oreo ghost truffles at parties or gatherings! Pro Tips Chill for Firmness: Ensure that your truffles are well-chilled before dipping in chocolate. This helps maintain their shape and prevents them from falling apart during coating. Use Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor and texture, opt for high-quality white chocolate chips. They melt smoother and provide a richer taste compared to regular chips. Customize Your Ghosts: Get creative with your ghostly decorations! Use colored chocolate melts or edible markers to add different expressions to the ghost eyes. Storage Tips: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture. {{image_4}} You can switch up the coating to make your truffles unique. Instead of white chocolate, try dark chocolate. It adds a rich flavor. You can also use milk chocolate for a sweeter taste. For a fruity twist, consider using colored candy melts. They come in many fun colors and flavors. Just melt them like you did with the white chocolate. Want to change the flavor? You can add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the Oreo mixture. This gives a nice depth to the flavors. You can also mix in some peanut butter or Nutella for a nutty taste. Just keep the balance right so it doesn’t overpower the Oreo flavor. If you need to make these truffles fit your diet, there are easy swaps. Use gluten-free Oreo cookies to make them gluten-free. For a vegan option, swap cream cheese for a non-dairy cream cheese. You can also use dark chocolate that is dairy-free. These changes let everyone enjoy the treat without worry. To keep your Oreo ghost truffles fresh, place them in an airtight container. Line the container with parchment paper to avoid sticking. This helps maintain their shape and taste. Store them in the fridge for best results. You can freeze these truffles if you want to save some for later. First, place the truffles on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about an hour until they are firm. Then, transfer them into a freezer-safe container. Make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. When stored properly, these truffles last about one week in the fridge. If frozen, they can last up to three months. Just remember to let them thaw in the fridge before serving. This keeps them creamy and delicious! Yes, you can use other cookies. Try chocolate sandwich cookies or peanut butter cookies. The flavor will change, but they can still be tasty. Just make sure they are similar in texture. Crushed cookies create a good base for these truffles. These truffles can last up to a week in the fridge. Keep them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Ingredients

1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
to taste mini chocolate chips (for ghostly eyes)
optional edible black glitter or cocoa powder (for spooky finish)

Instructions

Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies. Place them in a food processor and pulse until you achieve a fine crumb texture.
Once crushed, add the softened cream cheese into the food processor with the Oreo crumbs. Blend the mixture until it is fully combined and resembles a thick, dough-like consistency.
With clean hands, take small portions of the Oreo-cream cheese mixture and roll them into balls, each about 1 inch in diameter. Once formed, place the truffles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
Transfer the baking sheet with the truffle balls to the freezer and chill for approximately 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
While the truffles chill, prepare the coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt them together in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth.
After the truffles have solidified, take them out of the freezer. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring an even coating. Gently shake off any excess chocolate so they don’t clump.
Before the coating sets, strategically place two mini chocolate chips on top of each truffle to serve as spooky ghost eyes.
For an eerie and festive touch, optionally sprinkle a light dusting of edible black glitter or cocoa powder over the topped truffles.
Allow the chocolate coating to set either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, until it’s firm to the touch.

Notes

For added flair, arrange on a decorative platter or a Halloween-themed dessert stand.
