Why You’ll Love This No-Bake Oreo Ghost Truffles Recipe

These ghost truffles are a dream come true for busy bakers or anyone who loves a quick dessert fix. No baking means less mess, and no waiting on the oven to preheat. The classic combo of chocolate and cream cheese makes them irresistibly smooth and decadent. They’re easy to personalize with different expressions, and they store beautifully in the fridge, making them a make-ahead favorite.

Can I Use Any Type of Oreo for This Recipe?

Yes! While the classic chocolate Oreos give the best “ghost body” contrast under the white chocolate shell, you can experiment with Golden Oreos or flavored varieties. Just keep in mind that anything with added cream or chunks (like birthday cake Oreos) may alter the consistency a bit, so be ready to adjust with more or less cream cheese.

Ingredients for the No-Bake Oreo Ghost Truffles

This treat keeps it delightfully simple with just a handful of ingredients, most of which you might already have in your pantry.

Oreo cookies provide the rich, chocolatey base. They’re crushed into fine crumbs to form the bulk of the truffle.

Cream cheese adds smoothness and acts as the binder, transforming the crushed cookies into a pliable dough.

White chocolate or candy melts form the ghostly shell. Choose a quality brand that melts smoothly and sets with a nice sheen.

Candy eyes or black icing give each ghost a face—whether spooky or silly, it’s totally up to you!

How To Make the No-Bake Oreo Ghost Truffles

Step 1: Crush and Mix

In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs. Add softened cream cheese and blend again until the mixture forms a thick, uniform dough.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

Scoop out about a tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Flatten the top slightly and pinch the sides to taper, creating a “ghost” shape. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 3: Chill

Pop the tray into the fridge or freezer for about 20 minutes. This makes them easier to dip into chocolate later without falling apart.

Step 4: Dip in White Chocolate

Melt your white chocolate or candy melts according to the package instructions. Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle into the chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Let excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment.

Step 5: Decorate

Before the coating sets completely, press on candy eyes or use black icing to draw eyes and a mouth. Let them firm up at room temperature or in the fridge.

How to Serve and Store These Truffles

No-Bake Oreo Ghost Truffles are best served slightly chilled but not frozen. They make an adorable addition to a Halloween dessert tray, school party, or spooky-themed gathering. Each batch makes about 18 to 22 truffles, depending on how large you roll them, easily feeding a crowd.

To store, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze them for up to a month—just thaw slightly before serving to keep the coating from cracking.
