Halloween Truffles
Both delicious and fun, these Halloween OREO truffles or balls are coated in chocolate, and designed to look like iconic Halloween characters!
I am obsessed with Halloween treats, from Monster Cupcakes to Mummy Dogs, Halloween treats are the best! I had this darling video made for you guys of how to make these fun treats, and being the sleep-deprived idiot, I deleted it. Yes…deleted it. I tried to recover it, but the quality was too low, so I am not sharing it. And since I literally ate 12 of these by myself, I decided I better not make them again. So maybe next Halloween! Hahaha sorry guys. But these are literally so easy to make you don’t need a video.
But you do need some self-control because they are just that yummy.
How to Make Halloween Truffles
These Halloween-themed Oreo truffles are perfect for adding a spooky and fun touch to your celebrations. With variations for bats, Frankenstein’s monsters, and pumpkins, they’re not only delicious but also adorable and festive.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of OREOs (36 cookies)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- Candy eyes
- Chocolate chips (for melting)
- Green candy melts
- Orange candy melts
- Chocolate sprinkles
- Red frosting
- Mike and Ike candies (green)
Instructions:
1. Make the Oreo Truffles:
- In a food processor, blend the entire package of OREOs until they become fine crumbs.
- Add the softened cream cheese and process until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Scoop the mixture into heaping 1 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate or freeze the balls until firm, about 30 minutes.
2. Bat Oreo Truffles:
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each session until smooth.
- Dip the chilled Oreo truffles into the melted chocolate, lifting out with a fork and tapping gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Quickly add candy eyes to each truffle before the chocolate sets.
- Cut additional OREOs in half and stick them into the sides of the truffles as wings.
- If the chocolate sets before you attach the eyes and wings, dab some melted chocolate on the candy eyes and OREO halves to attach them.
3. Frankenstein Oreo Truffles:
- Melt the green candy melts in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each session until smooth.
- Dip the chilled Oreo truffles into the melted green candy, lifting out with a fork and tapping gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess candy.
- Before the candy sets, add chocolate sprinkles on top for hair, chocolate chips on the sides for bolts, and candy eyes.
- Use red frosting to draw a scar on the truffles for added detail.
4. Pumpkin Oreo Truffles:
- Melt the orange candy melts in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each session until smooth.
- Dip the chilled Oreo truffles into the melted orange candy, lifting out with a fork and tapping gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess candy.
- Quickly stick a green Mike and Ike candy into the top of each truffle to create the pumpkin stem.
Tips:
- Adjusting Consistency: If the truffle mixture is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes until it firms up.
- Working Quickly: Attach decorations quickly before the chocolate or candy coating sets.
- Storage: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
These Oreo truffles are highly delicious, so be prepared to make extra to share with friends and family. Enjoy and have a spook-tacular Halloween!
