Fun and festive no-bake Halloween truffles made with a creamy Oreo and cream cheese base, dipped in colorful candy coatings, and decorated like silly or spooky monsters.

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) package chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • Candy melts (green, purple, orange, or any color)
  • Edible candy eyes (small or large)
  • Sprinkles, crushed cookies, or sanding sugar (optional)
  • Piping chocolate or additional melted candy (for details like mouths or scars)
  • Lollipop sticks or toothpicks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pulse cookies in a food processor until finely crushed. Add cream cheese and blend until smooth and dough-like.
  2. Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a lined tray. Freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt candy melts according to package instructions. Add a little coconut oil or shortening if needed to thin the mixture.
  5. Dip each chilled truffle into melted candy using a fork or skewer. Let excess drip off and place on parchment.
  6. Immediately press on candy eyes and decorate with additional piping chocolate or sprinkles.
  7. Allow the coating to set fully at room temperature or chill briefly if needed.

Notes

  • Use different flavored sandwich cookies for unique truffle bases.
  • Insert a surprise candy or sprinkle inside each truffle before rolling.
  • Shape truffles into ovals or squares for different monster styles.
  • Use gel food coloring to tint white chocolate as an alternative to candy melts.
  • Turn into pops by inserting lollipop sticks before chilling.
