A tray of these chocolate Oreo truffle ghosts is our favorite thing to bring to Halloween parties and potlucks. The filling is made with a combination of crushed cookies, cream cheese, and mini marshmallows. Once they've chilled in the fridge, drizzle with white chocolate and add mini chocolate chip "eyes."
How to Customize Oreo Balls
Make these ghosts you own with these easy ideas for customizing the recipe.
- Instead of white chocolate, drizzle the ghosts with milk or dark chocolate.
- Try adding a bit of color by using sprinkles or mini candy-coated chocolate pieces for the eyes.
- Not a fan of chocolate? Use vanilla sandwich cookies instead.
