Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 20 Golden Oreos
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

Coating & Decoration

  • 10 ounces vanilla candy melts or dipping wafers
  • 1 package candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to use later for setting the coated Oreo balls.
  2. Crush Oreos: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until you get very fine crumbs, ensuring an even texture for mixing.
  3. Mix Base: Pour the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth, forming a thick dough.
  4. Form Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion the mixture into roughly 1-inch balls. Roll them between the palms of your hands for a smooth, uniform shape. Place these balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, then transfer the sheet to the freezer for 30 minutes to set the balls firmly.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to the package instructions, usually using a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler, stirring frequently to achieve a smooth, fluid consistency.
  6. Dip Oreo Balls: Pour the melted chocolate into a small bowl. Working one ball at a time, use a fork to dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, carefully turning to coat the entire ball. Gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Ensure the truffle sits on top of the fork without puncturing it.
  7. Set Coated Balls: Transfer each dipped ball back onto the prepared baking sheet to set the chocolate coating.
  8. Decorate Mummies: Pour remaining chocolate into a resealable plastic bag and cut a small hole at one corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the coated balls in a mummy-wrap pattern. Quickly stick two candy eyes onto each ball. If the chocolate hardens too fast, add a small dot of melted chocolate to the back of the eyes for better adhesion.
  9. Chill to Set: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden and set.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from fridge and serve your adorable mummy Oreo balls to friends and family for a fun Halloween treat!

Notes

  • Use Golden Oreos for a light-colored mummy look, but regular Oreos can be used for a darker, more gothic appearance.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • When melting candy melts, be careful to avoid overheating as it can seize and become unusable.
  • If candy eyes are not available, small edible white and black icing dots can be used as alternatives.
  • Store the finished mummy Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • These treats can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
