Ingredients
  

  • 36 OREO cookies regular or Halloween flavored
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 10 oz white vanilla melting wafers or white chocolate candy melts
  • Black decorating gel or melted chocolate chips for drawing faces
  • Candy eye balls optional, for decoration

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Crush OREOS: Add 36 OREO cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form (resembling sand texture). Alternatively, place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  3. Mix Filling: Pour cookie crumbs into a large mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly using an electric mixer or by hand until fully combined into a truffle-like mixture.
  4. Shape Balls: Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture into balls (approximately 40 total). Roll into smooth spheres with your hands if needed and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. First Chill: Place the entire baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Place white vanilla melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Dip Balls: Remove balls from freezer. Insert a toothpick into each ball as a handle. Quickly dip into melted white chocolate, rotating to coat all sides evenly. Use a spatula to help with coverage.
  8. Set Coating: Place dipped balls back on parchment paper to harden. If balls become too warm during dipping, return to freezer briefly.
  9. Decorate: Once chocolate has set, use melted chocolate chips or black decorating gel (placed in a piping bag with a small tip cut) to draw on ghost faces (eyes and mouth).
  10. Add Details: Optional place candy eye balls on each ghost for added charm.
  11. Final Set: Allow chocolate to fully harden before serving or storing.
  12. Store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
