Description
These Classic Spooky Oreo Truffle Eyeballs are the perfect spooky treat for Halloween! Easy to make and fun to decorate, they’ll be a hit at any ghoulish gathering.
Ingredients
1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
8 oz cream cheese softened
12 oz white chocolate melting wafers
Food coloring (red yellow green blue) for iris and veins
Black edible food marker or gel icing for pupils
Instructions
1. Finely crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
2. In a medium bowl mix the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until well combined and a dough forms.
3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or freezer for 15 minutes until firm.
4. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate ensuring it is fully coated. Return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. While the white chocolate is still wet add a small dot of desired food coloring (green blue or yellow) in the center for the iris (use a toothpick).
6. Once the chocolate has set use red food coloring with a fine brush or toothpick to draw small squiggly lines radiating from the iris to resemble bloodshot veins.
7. Use the black edible food marker or gel icing to add a black dot in the center of the iris for the pupil.
8. Chill again until ready to serve.
Notes
For an extra spooky touch place the finished eyeballs on a bed of crushed chocolate cookies as “dirt”.
Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
