Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Halloween treats that are creepy, and scary but not gross!
  • Great for older kids to make and assemble! Plus they're much easier to make than cake balls!
  • No bake, quick Halloween dessert!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

  • Oreos - regular, not thins, not doubled or triple stuffed.
  • White Chocolate - You can use actual white chocolate wafer or white candy melters. The candy melters coat better but the white chocolate tastes better. You could also use white almond bark. White chocolate chips tell to be a little bit to thin and don't make the best coating.
  • Colored Candy Melters - any color will work. The eyeballs in my pictures are drizzled with red but I think a ghostly green or purple are awesome too!
  • Candy Eyes - You can generally find these in any kitchen specialty store. I like the large candy eyes opposed to the small eyes. The small ones look a little weird.

How To Make Step by Step Recipe Instructions

  • So the insides of these eerie eyeballs are Oreo truffle balls.  If you've never made oreo truffle balls before don't worry they are super easy.  
  • Just completely crush 36 regular oreos, cream filling and all, into fine crumbs.  
  • Mix the crumbs well with 8 oz of cream cheese.

  • Scoop out tablespoon size globs and roll them in your hands into balls.  
  • Try to get 36 oreos balls out of a batch.
  • Put the rolled balls onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet and place them in the freezer for 15 minutes while you melt the white chocolate or white candy melts.
  • Once the white chocolate is completely melted, melt the colored candy melters and pour it in a disposable frosting bag and set aside until it's time to drizzle the colored candy.
  • Remove the oreo balls from the freezer and dip them one at a time, completely coating and allowing the excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Place the dipped truffle balls immediately on a piece of wax paper.

  • After you've dipped 7 or 8 balls in the white coating, clip the tip of the frosting bag and drizzle the melted colored candy over the white coating.
  • Immediately press an eyeball on the top.
  • Repeat the process doing 7-8 balls at a time.
  • You can place all of them back in the fridge to harden faster if you wish.

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

How do you make these without a food processor?

You can also use a blender, a magic bullet, a nutri-bullet or you can put the oreos in a gallon size ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

How do you melt the chocolate for oreo balls?

I usually melt the white in my Wilton chocolate melting pot. It not only melts them it keeps it warm for continuous dipping. However, for the colored candy melts I use silicone melt and pour measuring cups. You could also use these silicone cups for the white as well. A double boiler would work as well!

How long are these good for?

A week to 10 days when stored in the fridge.

Can these be left out or should I refrigerate them?

The centers contain cream cheese so it is best to keep them in the fridge when they're not being served.
