Description
Create spooky and delicious Monster Eyeballs Truffles with this easy-to-follow recipe. These no-bake treats feature a creamy Oreo and cream cheese filling coated in colorful candy melts and decorated with candy eyes and sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 19.1 ounces family-size package of golden Oreos
- 3/4 package (8-ounce) cream cheese, room temperature
- 12-ounce bag of colored candy melts
- 1/2 cup color-matching sprinkles
- 24 large candy eyes
Instructions
- Place the Oreos in a food processor and crush until they are well-crumbled.
- Add the cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and pulse until well combined, achieving a smooth, dough-like consistency.
- Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll it into balls.
- Place each truffle on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes or up to an hour to set.
- Heat the colored candy melts in a medium mixing bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds, stirring well. Continue heating and stirring in 10–20 second increments until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each chilled truffle in the melted candy until fully coated, then place on a clean sheet of parchment paper.
- Press a large candy eye onto the front of each truffle and sprinkle matching sprinkles on top.
- Allow the truffles to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the candy coating has hardened.
Notes
- You can use different flavored Oreos for a twist.
- These truffles can be made a few days in advance.
- Experiment with different colored candy melts for various spooky looks.
- Place truffles in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to help them set faster.
- Using room-temperature cream cheese is recommended for easier mixing.
- Candy melts can be substituted with melted chocolate, though the coating may be less vibrant.
- Ensure truffles are well-chilled before dipping and coat them quickly to prevent cracking.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a fun effect.
- Other fillings like peanut butter or Nutella can be used.
- This is a fun recipe for kids to help with.
