Ingredients
19.1 ounces family-size package of golden Oreos
¾ package (8-ounce) cream cheese, room temperature
12-ounce bag of colored candy melts
½ cup color-matching sprinkles
24 large candy eyes
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a food processor and crush until they are well-crumbled. The finer the crumbs, the better the texture for your truffles.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and pulse until well combined. You should have a smooth, dough-like consistency.
- Form the Truffles: Use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place each truffle on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Set the Truffles: Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes or up to an hour to allow them to set.
- Melt the Candy: When you’re ready to decorate, heat the colored candy melts in a medium mixing bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir well. Continue heating and stirring in 10–20 second increments until the candy is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle in the melted candy until fully coated. Place the coated truffles on a clean sheet of parchment paper.
- Add the Eyes and Sprinkles: Press a large candy eye onto the front of each truffle. Sprinkle the matching sprinkles on top to create “hair” for your little monsters.
- Set and Serve: Allow the truffles to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the candy coating has hardened. Once they’re ready, enjoy your delicious spooky treats!
Notes
You can use any fruit filling like blueberry, raspberry, or apple for variety.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can deep fry or pan-fry the egg rolls until golden brown.
If you prefer a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt as a substitute.
The egg rolls can be assembled in advance and frozen for up to 1 month. Air fry directly from frozen at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
These egg rolls are best served fresh, but they can be reheated in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
You can adjust the sweetness by using a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit instead of powdered sugar.
For an indulgent treat, serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
