I'm doing a Halloween cooking class for kids and was wondering if anyone has made the Oreo truffles with white chocolate instead of regular milk chocolate. Were they good? I thought the kids might have fun turning them into eyeballs.

Sounds cute. Is that Oreo truffle recipe a Pampered Chef recipe?
 
Here's the recipe I have. I am not 100% sure it's a PC recipe though.


Oreo Truffle Balls

Chocolate (I prefer the discs - Michaels and Walmart have them and I'm sure other places too...)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. Oreo Cookies

Chop the entire package of Oreo cookies with the Food Chopper. Mix with cream cheese. Scoop out balls of mixture using the Small Scoop. Place in freezer until firm (30 minutes to 1 hour). Melt chocolate in double boiler. Dip cookies in melted chocolate, one at a time, and place on parchment paper or wax paper until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Other tips: You can use white, milk or dark chocolate and drizzle another color to make creative designs. For the holidays, you can use food coloring in the white chocolate. Easy and fun!!
 
I have dipped them in white almond bark use the squeeze tubes of frosting (or candys for the eyeball) and the red gel for veins to amke them bloodshot
 
cool! I'd love to see a picture of some eye balls! sounds like fun!
 
I made them for my Bunco group last October. Our family is really into decorating for Halloween (including bedrooms and bathrooms) :)

One of my fun serving trays is a hand holding a serving platter that roams around on the counter. I cleared all the food from dinner and put desserts out. I put a plate stacked with about 40 eyeballs and I turn it on as they walk in the kitchen. one of my more rambunctious friends thought it was going to fall so she tries to catch it and actually tips it and eyeballs rolled everywhere. Because they had all screamed my son and husband come downstairs and there are 12 women on their hands and knees with their fannies in the air eating eyeballs off the floor. Now mind you I am a neat freak and we don't have the 5 second rule at my house never have. I was starting to throw them in the trash nd they asked if I had more I said no I made other desserts though. They weren't going to let them go to waste so they sat on the tile and ate them.
