Description
Create spooky, delicious eyeball truffles for Halloween. These no-bake treats feature a rich chocolate center, white candy coating, and eerie eyeball decorations, perfect for parties or bake sales.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- Red food coloring or red decorating gel
- Mini candy eyes or dark chocolate chips
- Optional: colored food gel for iris (green, blue, etc.)
- Optional: sprinkles, edible markers, or decorative pens
Instructions
- Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
- Mix in softened cream cheese until fully combined to form the truffle base.
- Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffle balls for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt white candy melts or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short increments, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating, ensuring it is fully coated, and return to the parchment-lined tray.
- Before the coating fully sets, press a candy eye or chocolate chip into the center of each truffle.
- Use red decorating gel to add bloodshot veins and colored food gel for the iris.
- Chill the decorated eyeball truffles until fully set.
- Serve the spooky eyeball truffles on a platter or in Halloween-themed cupcake liners.
Notes
- No food processor? Crush cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
- Store undecorated truffles in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Add peanut butter, mint extract, or pumpkin spice to the base mixture for flavor variations.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Melt chocolate in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid overheating, clumping, or scorching.
