Step 1: Crush the Oreos

Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin. The goal is to get fine crumbs with no large chunks.

Step 2: Mix in the Cream Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or a hand mixer to blend the mixture until it’s well combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick and sticky, with no visible cream cheese streaks.

Step 3: Shape the Oreo Balls

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have 20-24 balls.

Step 4: Chill the Oreo Balls

Place the baking sheet with the Oreo balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help the balls firm up and make them easier to dip in the white chocolate.

Step 5: Melt the White Chocolate

While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate melting wafers or white candy melts according to the package instructions. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize up and become difficult to work with.

Step 6: Dip the Oreo Balls

Once the Oreo balls are chilled and the white chocolate is melted, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to coat it completely. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated Oreo ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining Oreo balls.

Step 7: Decorate the Ghosts

While the white chocolate is still wet, place mini chocolate chips on the Oreo balls to create the ghost faces—use two for the eyes and one for the mouth. Alternatively, you can wait until the chocolate sets and use melted dark chocolate or black icing to pipe on the eyes and mouth.

Step 8: Let the Chocolate Set

Allow the white chocolate coating to set completely before serving. You can speed up this process by placing the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy

Once the chocolate is set, your Ghost Oreo Balls are ready to serve! Arrange them on a Halloween-themed platter and watch them disappear as guests grab these spooky treats.
