Why You’ll Love This

  • No-bake and beginner-friendly—great for getting kids involved.
  • Festive and fun—customize colors and decorations.
  • Crowd-pleaser—perfect for parties and school treats.
  • Make-ahead friendly—chill or freeze until ready to serve.
  • Only 5 ingredients—simple and stress-free.

Ingredients

  • 19.1 oz family-size package of Golden Oreos
  • ¾ (8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 12 oz bag of colored candy melts (your choice of color)
  • ½ cup color-matching sprinkles
  • 24 large candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos:
    Add the Golden Oreos to a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
  2. Make the Filling:
    Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and pulse until fully combined into a dough.
  3. Form Truffles:
    Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to shape the dough into balls. Roll and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill:
    Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes (or up to an hour) to set.
  5. Melt Candy Coating:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 45-second bursts, stirring between each. Continue in 10–20 second intervals until smooth.
  6. Dip and Decorate:
    Dip chilled truffles into the melted candy, let excess drip off, and place on fresh parchment paper. Press a large candy eye onto each truffle and sprinkle with color-matching sprinkles on top.
  7. Set and Serve:
    Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the coating is firm. Enjoy your monster treats!

Tips / Storage / FAQs

Tips:

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor.
  • Don’t skip chilling before and after coating—this helps the truffles stay intact.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, crush Oreos in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin.
  • Use white or dark chocolate instead of candy melts if preferred.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze: Freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

FAQs:

  • Can I use regular Oreos? Yes! The flavor will change slightly, but they work just as well.
  • What if I can’t find large candy eyes? Use small ones or make your own with candy melts.
  • Can I skip the sprinkles? Absolutely—decorate however you like!

Final Thoughts

Oreo Eyeball Truffles are spooky, simple, and ridiculously delicious. They’re the perfect Halloween treat for school events, costume parties, or fun family nights. Customize them with your favorite colors and toppings, and get creative with monster designs. They’re a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
