| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Oreo cookies | 1 package (14.3 oz) |
| Cream cheese, softened | 8 oz |
| White chocolate chips | 1 cup |
| Mini chocolate chips | For decorating |
| Coconut oil (optional) | 1 tsp |
Cooking Steps:
- Crush the Oreos: Begin by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse them until they are finely crushed, resembling crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also place the Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place these Oreo balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the balls are firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips. You can do this by placing the chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. If desired, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate for a smoother consistency.
- Coat the Oreo Balls: Once the Oreo balls have hardened, remove them from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to guarantee it is fully coated. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- Decorate with Ghost Faces: While the chocolate is still wet, place two mini chocolate chips on each ball to create ghost eyes. If the white chocolate has set, you can use additional melted chocolate to attach the mini chocolate chips.
- Set and Serve: After decorating, return the coated Oreo balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate has completely set.
- Enjoy: Once set, these spooky ghost Oreo balls are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a Halloween-themed platter for a fun and festive presentation.
