When it comes to kid-friendly Halloween treats, it doesn’t get better than this. Oreo truffle monsters hit all the right notes: Kids get to smash Oreos, roll balls of Play-Doh-like batter, dip things in molten chocolate and decorate away. And, by virtue of these no-bake treats being “monsters,” they don’t demand perfection. The goofier, the better.

Who cares if your chocolate’s too gloppy? Or your dough balls are more like lumps? It adds to the charm of these little creatures, which taste awesome—and outrageously decadent—no matter what.

Put out little bowls of all kinds of sprinkles and candy, and let guests go wild decorating these treats as they see fit. After a little stint in the fridge to solidify, they’re ready to enjoy.

Oreo Truffle Monsters

These no-bake treats pack a lot of personality.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Servings 18 truffles

Equipment

  • 1 gallon-size resealable plastic bag
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 silicone spatula
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 parchment-lined baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 family-size (19.1-oz.) package Oreos
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1 (10-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp canola oil or melted coconut oil
  • 36ish candy eyes (1 container)
  • 1 jar sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Place two of the three sleeves of Oreos in a gallon-size bag. (Set the rest aside to decorate your monsters—you can break them in half to form "wings" or crumble bits to use as hair, for example.) Seal the plastic bag and use a rolling pin or back of a spoon to finely crush cookies. They should be smaller than gravel.
  • Mix in softened cream cheese until a dough forms. Roll into one-inch balls. Set on baking sheet and place in fridge to harden.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it's drizzle-able. (It should be about as thick as pancake batter.)
  • Dunk each Oreo ball in chocolate, submerging it completely. Place dipped balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Decorate each one right away with candy eyes, sprinkles and Oreo "wings" as you see fit.
