Spooky Ghost-Shaped Oreo Truffles

Spooky ghost-shaped Oreo truffles are a fun, no-bake Halloween treat that I love making with just a few ingredients. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and coated in white chocolate for a ghostly appearance — perfect for parties, trick-or-treat platters, or just a spooky snack.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how easy and playful these truffles are. The filling is made with crushed Oreos and cream cheese, so they’re rich and satisfying inside. Decorating them into ghost shapes adds that Halloween charm without needing any baking or complicated tools.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Oreo cookies

• Cream cheese, softened

• White chocolate or white candy melts

• Mini chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate (for the ghost faces)

Directions

1. I start by pulsing the Oreos in a food processor until they’re fine crumbs.

2. I mix in the softened cream cheese until a sticky dough forms.

3. I shape the mixture into rounded ghost shapes — slightly tapered at the top and wider at the base — then place them on a parchment-lined tray.

4. I chill them in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

5. I melt the white chocolate and carefully dip each ghost truffle, letting the excess drip off.

6. I place them back on the tray and immediately add mini chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth before the coating sets.

7. I let them harden completely before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 20 ghost truffles. It takes 20 minutes to prep, plus 30 minutes chilling and decorating.

Variations

Sometimes I use golden Oreos for a lighter flavor or add a drop of peppermint extract for a festive twist. For different looks, I drizzle melted dark chocolate over the white coating or make pumpkin or monster-shaped truffles using colored candy melts.

Storage/reheating

I store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to a month. I don’t reheat them — they’re best served chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of cookie?

Yes, but I find Oreos give the best texture and flavor. Graham crackers or chocolate sandwich cookies also work.

What if I don’t have a food processor?

I crush the Oreos in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin and mix everything by hand — it works just as well.

Can I use almond bark instead of white chocolate?

Absolutely. It melts easily and creates a smooth coating that’s perfect for dipping.

How do I make the faces if I don’t have mini chips?

I use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to dot on the eyes and mouth — it works great for detailed decorating.

Can kids help with this recipe?

Definitely. This is one of those hands-on recipes that’s perfect for kids to shape, dip, and decorate.

Conclusion

Spooky ghost-shaped Oreo truffles are a fun, festive treat I always enjoy making during Halloween season. They’re easy, cute, and absolutely delicious — and the best part is, no oven required. Whether for a party tray or a kid-friendly activity, they’re a hauntingly good time.
