2 Ingredient Monster Truffles
The Easiest No-Bake Halloween Treat for Kids
The Easiest No-Bake Halloween Treat You'll Make All October
Two ingredients. No oven. No fuss. Just how I like my Halloween treats when there are already forty other things on the October to-do list!
If you’ve been looking for a spooky little something to bring to a class party, throw on a bake sale table, or just make on a random Tuesday because your toddler asked for “monsters,” these 2 ingredient monster truffles are it. The base is made from just two humble ingredients you probably already have hiding in your pantry and fridge: a standard pack of Oreos and a block of cream cheese. That’s it. That’s the truffle.
Then comes the fun part: dipping and decorating them into the silliest, spookiest little monsters your imagination can dream up. And trust me, your kids are going to want in on this one.
Why You'll Love These Monster Truffles
- Only 2 ingredients for the truffle base, just Oreos and cream cheese. You genuinely can’t mess this up.
- No baking required. No oven, no waiting for things to cool, no heat in the kitchen. A total win.
- Kid and toddler approved. These are SO much fun for little hands to help decorate (more on that below).
- Perfect for any spooky event. Bake sales, class parties, Halloween parties, or just a fun afternoon activity.
- Endlessly customizable. No two monsters have to look alike, and honestly, the wonkier they are, the cuter they are.
What You’ll Need
For the truffle base:
- 1 standard pack of Oreos (13.29 oz)
- 1 block of cream cheese (8 oz)
For decorating:
- Candy melts or melted chocolate
- Candy eyeballs
- Sprinkles
- Any fun Halloween-themed candy and decorations of your choice
That’s the beauty of this recipe. The base never changes, but the decorating is where you get to go wild. Grab whatever spooky sprinkles and candy you can find and let your imagination run the show!
How to Make 2 Ingredient Monster Truffles
Ready? This is honestly easier than getting a toddler into their shoes in the morning.
1. Blitz the Oreos. Add the whole pack of Oreos, cream filling and all, into a food processor and blend until they’re finely ground up. Don’t rush this part! Make sure they’re really finely ground before you add anything else, or you’ll end up with chunky bits in your truffles.
2. Add the cream cheese. Add your block of cream cheese to the food processor and blend until everything is combined and the mixture starts forming one giant ball. That’s your sign it’s ready.
3. Roll into balls. I like to use about 2 tablespoons of mixture per ball. Roll the mixture into even-sized balls. If you’re using 2 tablespoons per ball, you should get around 20 truffles.
4. Chill. Place your rolled balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Dip and decorate, quickly! Take the truffles out of the fridge and dip them in melted candy melts. Just keep in mind that because these are cold, the candy melts will harden up fast, so you’ve got to decorate quickly! Add your candy eyes, spooky sprinkles and any fun Halloween candy while the coating is still wet.
And that’s it! A tray full of adorable little monsters, ready to spook.
Let the Kids Get Messy
These monster truffles are made for little helpers. Rolling the balls and decorating them is the perfect job for kids and toddlers who want to “help” in the kitchen, and since the truffle base is completely no-bake, there’s no hot oven to worry about.
Set out your candy eyes, sprinkles and spooky decorations in little bowls, and let them go to town. Your imagination is truly the only limit here! The lopsided, googly-eyed, over-sprinkled monsters are always the best ones, and the memories are even better.
Great for Bake Sales, Parties and Every Spooky Event
Because they’re quick, cheap and don’t require any baking, these truffles are an easy addition to just about anything on the October calendar. They’re perfect for:
- Bake sales
- Class parties
- Halloween parties
- Any spooky event you can think of!
They travel well, they hold up on a dessert table, and they always disappear fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store monster truffles? Because these are made with cream cheese, keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re best enjoyed within a few days.
Can I make these ahead of time? Absolutely! You can roll and chill the truffle bases ahead of time, then dip and decorate closer to your event so they look their freshest.
Can I use a different cookie? This recipe is built around a standard pack of Oreos, but any similar sandwich cookie will work in a pinch. Just keep the cookie-to-cream-cheese ratio the same.
My candy melts are hardening too fast, help! That’s totally normal since the truffles are cold! Work in small batches, dipping and decorating a few at a time, and keep the rest in the fridge until you’re ready for them.
