Essential Ingredients
At the heart of fantastic Oreo truffles are just a few necessary ingredients:
- Oreo cookies: Of course, you can’t have Oreo truffles without Oreo cookies. Regular Oreos work great, but feel free to experiment with other flavors for a twist.
- Cream cheese: Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese to achieve the optimal texture and taste. Room temperature works best when mixing with the crushed Oreos.
- Candy melts: For a festive touch, use colored candy melts to suit the Halloween theme. Lavender candy melts are a popular choice, but you can use any color you like.

Decorating Techniques
To make my monster designs come to life, I chose various decorating techniques that would help me achieve the desired look for each monster.
- Candy Melts: I used multi-colored candy melts to coat the Oreo truffles, creating a vibrant base for my monster designs. You can find candy melts in different colors and even add food coloring to create unique shades.
- Edible Eyes: One of the easiest ways to bring personality to your monsters is by adding edible eyes. I used different sizes and shapes of eyes to create a variety of expressions on my monster truffles.
- Sprinkles & Hair: Adding sprinkles or creating hair-like textures using a piping bag gives your monsters an extra touch of fun. Experiment with different colors and shapes of sprinkles or pipe the hair in various styles for added personality.
- Oreo Crumbs: For some of my monsters, I used crushed Oreo crumbs to add texture and create a “furry” look. You can press the crumbs onto the candy melt coating before it hardens to achieve this effect.
Remember to be patient and practice these techniques to perfect your monster designs.
