Place the Oreos in a food processor and crush until well-crumbled.
19.1 ounces family-size package of golden Oreos
Add in the cream cheese and pulse until well combined.
¾ package (8-ounce) cream cheese
Use a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll it into balls.
Place each truffle on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes or up to an hour to set.
When ready to decorate the truffles, heat the candy, melt it in a medium mixing bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds, and stir well.
12 ounce bag of colored candy melts
Continue heating and then stirring in 10-20 second increments until smooth.
Working in batches, dip the set truffles in the melted candy until fully coated and then place them on a clean sheet of parchment paper on a hard surface.
Press a large eye onto the front of each truffle and sprinkle the top with color-matching sprinkles as "hair."
½ cup color-matching sprinkles, 24 large candy eyes
Repeat with each truffle, and then allow them all to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the candy has hardened.
Enjoy your little monsters!

Storage:

To Store: Store your monster eyeball truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let them come to room temperature before serving.
To Freeze: You can freeze your monster eyeball truffles in a freezer-safe container for 2-3 months.

Tips:

Make sure to your cream cheese has softened to room temperature. I prefer using full-fat cream cheese for this recipe because I think it gives these treats the most flavor and richness. Reduced fat would still work, but they may not be as rich tasting.
If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can place your Oreo cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Make sure you crush the entire cookie and do not remove the filling!
You can use any color of candy melts you like, or mix different colors to create a unique shade. You can also use white or dark chocolate melts instead of candy melts.
Feel free to use any color and shape of sprinkles to decorate your truffles.
If you can't find large candy eyes, you can use multiple smaller ones, a single smaller one, or make your large one by piping white and black candy melts onto a baking sheet and let them set before using them as eyes. You can also use other candy decorations, such as gummy worms, candy corn, or chocolate chips, to create different monster faces.
