Description

Delicious and spooky chocolate truffles designed to look like monster eyeballs, perfect for Halloween or themed parties.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 19.1 ounces family-size package of golden Oreos
  • ¾ package (8-ounce) cream cheese room temperature
  • 12 ounce bag of colored candy melts
  • ½ cup color-matching sprinkles
  • 24 large candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreos in a food processor and crush until well-crumbled.
  2. Add in the cream cheese and pulse until well combined.
  3. Use a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll it into balls.
  4. Place each truffle on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes or up to an hour to set.
  6. When ready to decorate the truffles, heat the candy, melt it in a medium mixing bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds, and stir well.
  7. Continue heating and then stirring in 10-20 second increments until smooth.
  8. Working in batches, dip the set truffles in the melted candy until fully coated and then place them on a clean sheet of parchment paper on a hard surface.
  9. Press a large eye onto the front of each truffle and sprinkle the top with color-matching sprinkles as “hair.”
  10. Repeat with each truffle, and then allow them all to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the candy has hardened.
  11. Enjoy your little monsters!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • For best results, let the truffles cool completely before dipping them in the candy melts.
  • Experiment with different colored candy melts and sprinkles for a variety of spooky looks.
