Introduction

These Ghost OREO Ball Truffles are an easy, no-bake treat perfect for Halloween. Creamy, sweet, and decorated like spooky ghosts, they’re sure to delight kids and adults alike.

The image shows five small ghost-shaped cake pops arranged on a white plate, each covered in smooth white chocolate, giving a glossy and slightly dripped effect at the base for a melted look. Each ghost has two round dark chocolate eyes placed near the top and an open mouth made of dark chocolate as well, creating a spooky face. The front ghost has a large bite taken out, showing the dark, textured inner cake layer beneath the white chocolate shell. The background is blurred but shows a white marbled texture surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

36 Oreo Cookies (Swap for gluten-free Oreos if needed)
8 oz Cream Cheese (Use full-fat for richer taste)
12 oz White Chocolate (Feel free to try milk or dark chocolate)
Sprinkles or Edible Eyes (Optional for decoration)

Instructions

Step 1: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese and mix until well-blended and smooth.
Step 3: Scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, shaping them into ghost-like figures.
Step 4: Place the shaped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for about 15 minutes.
Step 5: Melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between, until smooth.
Step 6: Dip each ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure they are fully coated, and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 7: Before the coating sets, add sprinkles or edible eyes to decorate the ghosts.
Step 8: Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Variations

Use gluten-free Oreos to make these truffles suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
Try melting milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
Chill the truffles longer if you find them too soft to handle when shaping.
For a spookier touch, use black edible markers to draw ghost faces after the chocolate sets.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. If needed, re-chill after handling to keep their shape.

How to Serve

The image shows five small ghost-shaped treats on a white plate with a white marbled surface beneath. Each treat has three layers: a dark, crumbly chocolate base forming the ghost's body, a smooth white coating covering the base to shape the ghost, and two round dark chocolate pieces as the eyes placed near the top front. The front treat is bitten, revealing the dark chocolate inside, and the white coating drapes slightly at the base like little arms or ghost tails. The eyes are spaced evenly, and the ghost’s mouth is a darker oval shape below the eyes. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these truffles ahead of time?

Yes, these truffles can be made a few days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

What 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 finely ground. It might take a bit longer but works just as well.
