This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! Giveaway is sponsored but I did not personally receive any complimentary products. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s – flying purple people eaters! These adorable Halloween truffles are made out of cake balls, with sandwich cookie wings, and a candy corn horn!

Google may shun me for this, but I made another flying purple people eater recipe! I love the thumbprint version I made so much I had to do it again (and again with milkshakes).

To be honest, I wasn’t originally planning this recipe at all until I discovered purple birthday cake flavored knock-off Oreos at Kroger (thanks Kita) and was brainstorming ideas of what to make with them.

I have a really bad habit of buying every special edition Oreo I find and then waiting too long to decide on what to make with them. My go-to is usually mini cheesecakes because they are the perfect size for a crust. And I really love cheesecake. But I have used them in Halloween cupcakes too!

While pondering what type of buckeye candy I should make this year (I challenge myself to come up with a new version every football season), it occurred to me that I could utilize that same dipping technique to make one eyed monsters! And thus these cuties were born.

Unfortunately for them, despite their name they are being eaten by more people than they are eating themselves, haha!

This also marks my last recipe for #HalloweenTreatsWeek so make sure to enter the giveaway located at the bottom fo this post! But there will be one more day of recipes tomorrow.
