This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% my own.

When I received these adorable gummy eyeballs from Treat Street USA, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with them. Oreo truffles with eyeballs on top. Eyeball truffles. Spooky eyeball truffles. Because…how fun is that??

They’re just a little spooky, but more fun and silly than anything. Kids love fun and silly. Especially for Halloween. And they are so easy to make!! If you needed a last-minute treat, you could realistically throw these together in half an hour, and that’s with the time to firm up the truffles and the coating!

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: eyeball truffles, oreo truffles, Truffles
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 10 minutes
Servings: 16 – 18 Truffles
Author: Jaida

Ingredients

  • 25 Oreos (or other chocolate sandwich cookies)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups white chocolate bark
  • 2 pkgs Gummy Eyeballs (there are 12 per package, you will have a few leftover)

Instructions

  • Place oreos in a blender or food processor and pulse into crumbs.
  • Add to a medium mixing bowl with the softened cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer until well-combined.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop even amounts of oreo mixture out, and roll into balls in your hands. Place on a wax-paper lined plate or cookie sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You will have 16-18 truffles depending on size. Place truffles in fridge for about 15 minutes (or freezer for about 5-7 minutes)
  • Melt the white chocolate bark in a cup or measuring cup that is deep enough for easier dipping. (Standard melting instructions are 60 seconds on 50% power, stir, and then heat at 50% power in 30 second increments until melted, stirring each time.)
  • Once melted, remove the truffles from the fridge or freezer, drop them into the melted chocolate one at a time and use a fork to scoop out, tapping the fork on the edge of the container to remove excess chocolate and smooth the surface. Place back on your wax paper covered plate, using a toothpick to help scoot it off the fork if necessary. Press a gummy eyeball into the top of the truffle immediately. Repeat until all truffles are made.
  • Place truffles in the fridge for about 10 minutes or so, until the chocolate sets. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Extremely clever and a hoot! They look hard to make but you spell out exactly what to do and it’s simple with clear steps and I am under the spell. Great spooky idea.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
