No-Bake 3-Ingredient Ghost Oreo Balls
Spooky, sweet, and ridiculously easy! These no-bake Ghost Oreo Balls take only 3 ingredients and are the perfect fun, festive Halloween treat to make with the kids.
Ingredients
- 1 14.3 oz package Oreo cookies (Standard, not Double Stuf)
- 8 oz Cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 16 oz White candy melts or vanilla almond bark
- 1/4 cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips optional, for the eyes
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies (including the cream filling) into a food processor. Pulse until they form fine, sandy crumbs.
- In a large bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or hand mixer until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll it between your hands to form 1-tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until the balls are very firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring smoothly after each until completely fluid.
- Remove the firm truffles from the freezer. Drop them one at a time into the white candy coating. Roll with a fork to coat, tap off the excess, and place back onto the parchment paper. Allow a little extra coating to pool at the base to look like a ghost's sheet.
- While the coating is still wet, carefully place two mini chocolate chips on the front of each truffle to create eyes.
- Let the truffles set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
Make sure to use standard Oreos; Double Stuf will make the dough too wet and sticky to roll. If your melted candy coating is too thick, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin it out. Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
