Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 (14-oz.) package Oreos
- 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup finely chopped Snickers
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces, chopped
Chocolate Coating
- 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp. coconut or vegetable oil
- Green gel food coloring (about 10 drops, adjust for color)
Decorations
- Candy eyeballs
- Purple sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Crumbs and Mixture: In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until fine crumbs form. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl, then stir in the softened cream cheese until well combined. Mix in the finely chopped Snickers and chopped Reese’s Pieces until fully incorporated.
- Form Truffle Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the balls until they are slightly hardened, about 30 minutes.
- Make Green White Chocolate Coating: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut or vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until just melted, then stir until smooth, approximately 2 minutes total. Stir in green gel food coloring drops until the desired green color is achieved.
- Coat Truffles: Dip each frozen truffle ball into the melted green white chocolate until fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place the coated truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then press a candy eyeball on top and sprinkle with purple sprinkles.
- Set the Coating: Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining truffle balls. Once all are coated, freeze the truffles until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Adjust the amount of green gel coloring to achieve the perfect shade.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and white chocolate with vegan alternatives.
