Monster Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These Monster Truffles are a fun and festive treat perfect for spooky celebrations or any time you want a deliciously playful dessert. Combining Oreo crumbs, Snickers, and Reese’s Pieces with a creamy coating, they’re as tasty as they are eye-catching.

Ingredients

• 1 (14-oz.) package Oreos
• 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup finely chopped Snickers
• 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Pieces
• 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
• Green gel food coloring
• Candy eyeballs
• Purple sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until fine crumbs form. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in the softened cream cheese until well combined. Mix in the chopped Snickers and Reese’s Pieces until evenly distributed.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls and place them on the prepared sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes until slightly hardened.
3. Step 3: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut or vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring until smooth—about 2 minutes total. Stir in 10 drops of green gel food coloring, adding more if needed to reach your desired color.
4. Step 4: Dip each frozen ball into the melted green chocolate to coat completely. Use a fork to lift the truffle, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a candy eyeball gently into the top of each, then sprinkle with purple sprinkles.
5. Step 5: Repeat with the remaining truffles. Freeze the finished truffles for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Tips & Variations

• For extra fun, try using different colored gel food coloring to create a variety of monster looks.
• If you don’t have a food processor, crush the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag using a rolling pin until finely ground.
• Swap Snickers for other favorite chocolate bars like Milky Way or Butterfinger for a different flavor twist.

Storage

Store the Monster Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer for up to one month. To serve, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other chocolate sandwich cookies or even crushed graham crackers for a different flavor and texture.

What can I use if I don’t have candy eyeballs?

If candy eyeballs aren’t available, try making your own using small white icing dots with a tiny black dot in the center, or use mini chocolate chips as eyes instead.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Ingredients

• 1 (14-oz.) package Oreos
• 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup finely chopped Snickers
• 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Pieces

Coating Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
• Green gel food coloring

Decoration

• Candy eyeballs
• Purple sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oreo mixture: In a food processor, pulse Oreos until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs into a medium bowl and stir in softened cream cheese until well combined. Gently fold in the finely chopped Snickers and chopped Reese’s Pieces, ensuring even distribution.
2. Form the truffle balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, form the Oreo mixture into small balls and place them onto the prepared sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes until the balls are slightly hardened to hold their shape during dipping.
3. Melt the chocolate coating: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut or vegetable oil. Microwave in ~30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is just melted and smooth—approximately 2 minutes total. Mix in about 10 drops of green gel food coloring, adding more to achieve your desired shade.
4. Dip and decorate the truffles: Dip each frozen truffle ball into the melted green chocolate, coating completely. Use a fork to lift the ball out, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a candy eyeball onto the top side of each coated truffle and sprinkle with purple sprinkles for a spooky finish.
5. Set the coating: Repeat dipping and decorating for all remaining truffles. Return the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for about 15 minutes until the chocolate coating is fully hardened.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to mix smoothly with the Oreo crumbs.
• Use a small cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes, which helps with even freezing and dipping.
• Microwave white chocolate carefully and stir frequently to avoid burning.
• You can substitute candy eyeballs and sprinkles according to your seasonal theme or preference.
