Ingredients
Scale
Oreos and Cream Cheese
- 19.1 ounces Golden Oreos (or any sandwich cookies)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Coating and Decoration
- 12 ounces colored candy melts (any color or mix)
- Color-matching sprinkles
- Large candy eyes
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies: Start by placing 19.1 ounces of Golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and pulse until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Shape the Truffles: Roll the mixture into balls about 1½ tablespoons in size and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Chill for Setting: Refrigerate the truffle balls for 15 to 30 minutes until they are firm and hold their shape.
- Melt the Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of colored candy melts in short intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy, allowing any excess coating to drip off back into the bowl.
- Decorate with Eyes: Press one large candy eye onto each coated truffle and sprinkle with matching colored sprinkles to create the monster’s look.
- Final Chill: Place the decorated truffles back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the candy coating harden completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve these fun monster eyeballs chilled or at room temperature for a festive Halloween treat.

- You can substitute Golden Oreos with any other sandwich cookies if desired.
