Oreo Truffle Eyeballs

Not only do these taste great, but they looked awesome for Halloween as eyeballs. I know it may be a little late this year for Halloween, but these are perfect for a family party or any party really, so if you don't get the chance to make them for Halloween try them for Christmas and drizzle colored candy melts or sprinkle with Christmas colored sprinkles, or be even more creative than me which wouldn't be too hard as that's about the extent of my creativity. Anyway if you want more ideas check out Bakerella, she has a lot of cute ideas for cakeballs, but I think these actually work better because they stay firmer. These can also be made with Nutter Butters, but I have yet to try so if you try them before I do let me know!


1 pkg Oreos, or Nutter Butters
8 oz. cream cheese
about a bag of white chocolate chips, or chocolate if your using Nutter Butters

The easiest way to make these is in a food processor where you can crush the cookies and then drop chunks of the cream cheese in and mix together until it forms a sticky dough. If you don't have a food processor just crush the cookies in a ziploc bag until fine crumbs, then transfer to a bowl and mix in the cream cheese with a mixer. Roll dough into a 1-inch ball and place on a greased cookie sheet. Place in freezer for at least an hour if not a couple of hours. In a microwave safe bowl melt half your chocolate in microwave for intervals of 45 seconds stirring in between until melted. Drop Oreo balls into chocolate and completely cover with chocolate. Place back on pan (this is probably the hardest part and it takes a second to kind of get a rhythm so that they come out looking good, even if they're not pretty they still taste great) Put back in fridge for another couple hours. These are best served cold.
