Monster Eyeballs are spooky and delicious Oreo truffles coated in colorful candy melts, decorated with candy eyes and sprinkles to create a fun Halloween-themed treat that’s perfect for parties and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 19.1 ounces family-size package of golden Oreos
  • ¾ package (8-ounce) cream cheese, room temperature

Decoration

  • 12 ounce bag of colored candy melts
  • ½ cup color-matching sprinkles
  • 24 large candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Crush Oreos: Place the golden Oreos in a food processor and crush them until well-crumbled to create the base for the truffles.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and pulse the mixture until it is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
  3. Form Truffle Balls: Using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the dough then roll each portion into smooth balls.
  4. Prepare for Setting: Lay each truffle ball on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for 15-30 minutes or up to one hour to allow them to set firmly.
  6. Melt Candy Coating: When ready to decorate, melt the candy melts in a medium mixing bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir well, then continue heating in 10-20 second increments, stirring each time until smooth.
  7. Dip Truffles: Working in batches, dip the chilled truffles into the melted candy until fully coated, ensuring a smooth, even layer.
  8. Decorate: Place the dipped truffles on a clean sheet of parchment paper laid on a hard surface. Press one large candy eye onto the front of each truffle.
  9. Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle the top of each truffle with color-matching sprinkles to simulate hair or additional spooky effects.
  10. Final Chill: Refrigerate the decorated truffles for at least 30 minutes or until the candy coating has fully hardened.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Your Monster Eyeballs are now ready to be served and enjoyed at any festive gathering.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing and a smooth dough.
  • Colored candy melts can be chosen based on seasonal themes (orange, green, purple, black) for more festive visuals.
  • Make sure the truffles are fully chilled before dipping so they maintain their shape.
  • Store the finished Monster Eyeballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For variation, use regular chocolate Oreos instead of golden Oreos to create darker truffles.
