Introduction

Ghost OREO Ball Truffles are a fun and easy treat perfect for Halloween or any spooky occasion. With a creamy Oreo filling coated in white chocolate and decorated like little ghosts, they’re sure to delight both kids and adults alike.

The image shows five small ghost-shaped treats on a white plate with a white marbled background visible around it. Each treat has a smooth, shiny white coating shaped like a ghost with two small, round dark chocolate eyes near the top and a larger oval-shaped dark chocolate mouth below the eyes. The ghosts have a rounded top and short flowing sides that spread slightly outward, giving the appearance of a floating ghost. One ghost in the front has a bite taken out, revealing a crumbly, dark, almost black interior layer inside. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

36 Oreo cookies (gluten-free Oreos can be used if needed)
8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
12 oz white chocolate (milk or dark chocolate can be substituted)
Sprinkles or edible eyes, for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, shaping each to resemble a ghost figure.
Step 4: Arrange the ghost-shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill them for about 15 minutes.
Step 5: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second bursts, stirring between bursts until smooth.
Step 6: Dip each ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating fully. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 7: Before the coating sets, decorate with sprinkles or edible eyes for a spooky effect.
Step 8: Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Variations

Use gluten-free Oreos to make the recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive guests.
Try milk or dark chocolate coatings for a different flavor profile.
Shape the balls into simple spheres if you prefer a classic truffle look over the ghost shape.
Store the truffles in the fridge if your kitchen is warm to prevent melting.

Storage

Store your ghost truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To serve, let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. Avoid storing at room temperature for extended periods as the cream cheese filling can soften.

How to Serve

A white plate holds five small ghost-shaped treats, each covered in a smooth white layer resembling icing or chocolate, with two dark chocolate buttons for eyes. The front ghost is bitten to show a dark, crumbly chocolate cookie inside. Each ghost has a rounded dome shape that flares slightly at the base, creating a flowing appearance. They sit on a white marbled surface with soft lighting that softly highlights the smooth texture and details on the treats. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these truffles ahead of time?

Yes, these truffles keep well when refrigerated and can be made a few days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

What can I use if I don’t have a food processor?

You can place the Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. It may take a bit more effort but works just as well.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, be sure to use gluten-free Oreo cookies.
Full-fat cream cheese provides a richer, creamier texture and better flavor.
You can substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if preferred.
Store the completed truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Allow truffles to come to room temperature slightly before serving for the best flavor and texture.
If edible eyes are unavailable, simple black or colored sprinkles can be used to create eyes on the ghosts.
