Ingredients
  

For the truffle base:

  • 36 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

For the decoration:

  • 2 cups white chocolate coating wafers
  • 1/2 cup black decorating wafers or black icing

Instructions
 

  • Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can put the cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Make sure there are no large chunks left.
  • In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the crushed cookie crumbs from Step 1. Mix well until a dark, smooth, truffle-like texture forms. I like to use my hands to make sure everything is mixed evenly.
  • Firmly press 1-2 tablespoons of the truffle mixture from Step 2 into each cavity of a ghost-shaped mold. Press down to pack them tightly. Refrigerate the molds until firm, or freeze for about 20 minutes if you want to speed things up.
  • Melt the white chocolate coating wafers according to the package directions, either in a microwave or double boiler. Carefully remove the chilled ghosts from the molds, then dip each one into the melted white chocolate to fully coat. Place the coated ghosts on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate them for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is set. For a smoother finish, I like to tap off any excess chocolate before setting them down.
  • Melt the black decorating wafers or fill a piping bag with black icing. Use the melted chocolate or icing to pipe eyes and a mouth on each coated ghost. Be creative with your ghost faces!
  • Keep the finished ghost truffles refrigerated until ready to serve. This helps the coating stay firm and the ghosts keep their shape. Enjoy your spooky treats!
