Base Ingredients
- 20 Golden Oreos
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
Coating and Decoration
- 10 ounces vanilla candy melts or dipping wafers
- 1 package candy eyes
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep the Oreo balls from sticking while they chill.
- Make Oreo Crumbs: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until they become very fine crumbs, resembling sand.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the Oreo crumbs into a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Stir together until well combined and smooth, forming a dough-like mixture.
- Form Balls: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into roughly 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between your palms to make smooth spheres. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the Balls: Transfer the Oreo balls into the freezer for about 30 minutes. This step firms them up for easier dipping.
- Melt Candy Coating: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to package directions, typically in a microwave or double boiler, until smooth.
- Dip the Balls: Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it fully. Let excess chocolate drip off by tapping on the side of the bowl. Note that the truffle sits on top of the fork without poking through.
- Decorate: Place the coated balls back onto the baking sheet. Pour remaining melted chocolate into a plastic bag, cut a small hole in the corner, and drizzle strips over each ball to create a mummy wrap effect. Press two candy eyes onto each ball while the drizzle is still wet. If chocolate hardens quickly, use a small dab of melted chocolate to stick the eyes on.
- Set the Coating: Refrigerate the decorated Oreo balls for 15-20 minutes, allowing the chocolate coating to fully set and harden.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once set, serve your spooky Mummy Oreo Balls chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover Mummy Oreo Balls in the refrigerator; they will keep fresh for up to 5 days.
- If stacking during storage, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- If candy melts harden during decorating, gently reheat to return to dipping consistency.
- These treats are no-bake and require freezing and chilling for best texture.
