Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use candy eyes?
Yes! If you would prefer to use candy eyes instead of the black candy melts, you can.
Things to Note:
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The truffles have a firmer texture when stored in the fridge. I like to let them come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before enjoying them.
- This recipe was tested using regular Oreo cookies. If you use double-stuffed Oreos, you will need less frosting to make the truffle filling. I recommend starting with ¾ cup of frosting. Add more frosting 1 tablespoon at a time if needed.
- The easiest way to combine the Oreo crumbs with the frosting is with my hands. It is messy but will allow you to combine the two much quicker than with a spoon.
- If the Oreo and frosting mixture is too sticky to form into ghost shapes, place it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Almond bark is another excellent option for coating the truffles.
- You can use edible markers or decorating gel to make the ghost faces instead of candy melts.
- Ensure you chill the truffles before you coat them with the chocolate. If the truffles are not firm enough, they will fall apart as you coat them and leave cookie crumbs in your coating chocolate.
Ingredients Needed to Make Oreo Ghost Truffles
How to Make Oreo Ghost Truffles
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Pulse the whole Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor (you can also use a blender).
Add the Oreo cookie crumbs, frosting, and salt to a large bowl and mix until well combined and no dry patches of cookies remain. The mixture will be sticky.
Shape heaped tablespoons of the mixture into ghost or bell-shaped and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Transfer the truffles to the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to firm up.
Once the truffles are firm, melt the white candy melts according to the package directions.
Coat the truffles in the chocolate and place them back on the baking sheet. Refrigerator for 10-20 minutes or until the chocolate coating sets.
Melt the black candy melts and place them in a small piping or sandwich bag. Make a small cut in the bag, pipe eyes, and a mouth onto the ghosts. Allow the faces to set before serving.
Serve and Enjoy!
