These Oreo Eyeball Truffles are a spooky and delicious Halloween treat featuring golden Oreo crumbs mixed with cream cheese, dipped in colorful candy melts, and decorated with candy eyes and sprinkles to mimic eerie eyeballs.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 19.1 ounces family-size package of golden Oreos
  • ¾ (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature

Decorations

  • 12-ounce bag colored candy melts
  • ½ cup color-matching sprinkles
  • 24 large candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place the golden Oreos in a food processor and crush until they are finely crumbled, ensuring a uniform texture for the truffle base.
  2. Combine with Cream Cheese: Add the room temperature cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and pulse the mixture in the food processor until well combined, forming a dough-like consistency.
  3. Shape Truffles: Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each portion into smooth balls with your hands.
  4. Chill the Truffles: Arrange the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to set firmly.
  5. Prepare Candy Melt Coating: Heat the candy melts in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 45-second intervals, stirring well each time. Continue heating in 10 to 20 second increments until the candy melt is completely smooth.
  6. Dip the Truffles: Working in batches, dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy until fully coated, allowing excess coating to drip off, then place on a clean parchment-lined surface.
  7. Decorate: While the candy coating is still wet, press a large candy eye onto the front of each truffle. Sprinkle the tops with the color-matching sprinkles to resemble creepy hair.
  8. Set the Coating: Allow the decorated truffles to set by refrigerating for at least 30 minutes or until the candy coating hardens completely.

Notes

  • Room temperature cream cheese is essential for easy blending with the Oreo crumbs.
  • Use a variety of candy melt colors and matching sprinkles for creative variations.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For easier dipping, thin the candy melts with a teaspoon of vegetable oil if they become too thick.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin before mixing manually with cream cheese.
