Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 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
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep the Oreo balls from sticking after coating.
- Crush the Oreos: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until they become very fine crumbs, ensuring a smooth texture for the balls.
- Mix with cream cheese: Pour the Oreo crumbs into a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Form the balls: Using a cookie scoop, form the Oreo mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between your palms until smooth, then place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to set.
- Melt the candy melts: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to the package instructions, ensuring they are smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip the Oreo balls: Using a fork, dip each Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, turning to coat fully and tapping off excess chocolate on the bowl’s side. Carefully place the coated balls back on the baking sheet.
- Decorate the mummies: Pour remaining melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag, cut a small hole in one corner, and drizzle it over the coated Oreo balls to create mummy-like wraps. Immediately add two candy eyes to each ball. If chocolate hardens too fast, use a dot of melted chocolate on the back of the eyes for better adhesion.
- Set the coating: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, serve these festive mummy treats and enjoy their creamy, crunchy texture.
Notes
- This no-bake recipe is quick and easy, great for involving kids in making festive Halloween snacks.
- Use Golden Oreos for a lighter color to resemble mummy wrapping, traditional dark Oreos would change the visual effect.
- If candy melts harden while dipping or drizzling, gently reheat them to keep them smooth.
- Storing the mummy Oreo balls in the refrigerator keeps them fresh and the chocolate firm.
- Feel free to customize decoration with colored candy melts for a more colorful mummy effect.
