Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreos
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz white vanilla melting wafers
- Black decorating gel or melted chocolate chips (for faces)
- Candy eyeballs (optional)
Instructions
- Pulse Oreos in a food processor until finely crumbled, or crush them in a bag with a rolling pin.
- Combine Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix until well blended into a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop or your hands. You should get about 40 balls.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-30 second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Insert a toothpick into each chilled Oreo ball. Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated balls on parchment paper to set.
- Once the coating has hardened, use black decorating gel, melted chocolate, or candy eyes to create ghost faces.
- Let the decorations set and refrigerate the Ghost Oreo Balls until ready to serve.
Notes
- Store Ghost Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the undecorated balls for up to 1 month in a sealed freezer bag.
- If the white chocolate thickens during dipping, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it.
- You can use gluten-free or vegan substitutes for Oreos, cream cheese, and white chocolate to adapt the recipe.
- Work in batches, keeping some Oreo balls in the freezer while you dip others, to prevent them from softening.
