Introduction

Mummy Oreo Balls are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. These bite-sized desserts combine creamy cream cheese, crunchy Oreos, and sweet vanilla candy melts decorated to look like adorable mummies with candy eyes.

The image shows a close-up of round, pale yellow balls that have a rough texture inside and are coated with smooth white chocolate on the outside. Each ball is decorated with thin, wavy lines of white chocolate all around and topped with two small round white candies that have tiny black dots in the center, making them look like eyes. One ball is bitten to show the crumbly inside, while the others are whole and stacked closely together in a white bowl, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 20 Golden Oreos
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 10 ounces vanilla candy melts or dipping wafers
  • 1 package candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until they become very fine crumbs.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Step 4: Using a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between your palms to smooth them out. Place the balls on the lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to set.
  5. Step 5: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to the package directions and pour into a small bowl or glass.
  6. Step 6: Working with one Oreo ball at a time, use a fork to dip it into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Tap off any excess chocolate on the side of the bowl, then transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet. (Note: The truffle should rest on top of the fork, with the fork tines not piercing into the ball.)
  7. Step 7: Pour the remaining chocolate into a zip-top bag and cut a small hole in one corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the coated balls to create a mummy wrap effect. 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 to help them stick.
  8. Step 8: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  9. Step 9: Serve and enjoy your cute and spooky mummy treats!

Tips & Variations

  • For a richer flavor, try using chocolate sandwich Oreos instead of golden Oreos.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly different texture and taste.
  • Add a few drops of orange or pumpkin spice flavoring to the melted candy for a festive twist.
  • If you don’t have candy eyes, small dots of black icing or melted chocolate work well as a substitute.

Storage

Store the mummy Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month. Allow frozen balls to thaw in the fridge before serving. Reheat is not necessary, but if the chocolate loses its shine, a few minutes at room temperature will refresh the coating.

How to Serve

Three round white chocolate balls are placed on a white marbled surface. Each ball is covered in smooth white chocolate and has thin, uneven white chocolate lines drizzled all over, giving a wrapped look. Two small white sugar eyes with black centers sit on top of each ball, making them look like little mummy faces. A cream-colored cloth is softly arranged in the top left corner of the image.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of golden Oreos?

Yes, regular Oreos work great and give a classic chocolate flavor if you prefer that over the golden variety.

Do I have to use candy melts for coating?

While candy melts are easiest, you can use white chocolate chips or almond bark as alternatives. Just be sure to melt them gently to avoid burning.

Description

Mummy Oreo Balls are a spooky and delicious no-bake treat perfect for Halloween or any fun occasion. These bite-sized snacks combine crushed Golden Oreos with creamy softened cream cheese, coated in vanilla candy melts, and decorated with candy eyes to resemble adorable little mummies. Enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and sweet in every bite!

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Work Surface: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later use to place the dipped Oreo balls.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor, pulse the 20 Golden Oreos until they form very fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks left for a smooth mixture.
  3. Combine with Cream Cheese: Pour the Oreo crumbs into a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth, forming a dough-like consistency.
  4. Form Oreo Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion out about 1-inch sized mixtures and roll them between the palms of your hands until smooth and round. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Chill the Balls: Transfer the baking sheet with the Oreo balls into the freezer for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set properly.
  6. Melt the Candy Coating: Following the package directions, melt the vanilla candy melts until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a small bowl for easy dipping.
  7. Dip the Oreo Balls: Working one at a time, use a fork to dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate gently on the side of the bowl to avoid drips.
  8. Place and Decorate: Transfer the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray. Pour remaining melted chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut a small hole at the corner. Drizzle chocolate over the balls to create mummy-like bandages.
  9. Add Candy Eyes: Stick two candy eyes onto each ball immediately after drizzling. If the chocolate hardens quickly, secure the eyes with a small dot of melted chocolate as glue.
  10. Set the Chocolate: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate coating and decorations fully set.
  11. Serve: Once set, remove them from the fridge and serve as a festive, fun treat to enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Do not poke the Oreo balls with the fork while dipping to maintain their shape.
  • If candy melts harden while decorating, gently reheat them to keep them smooth.
  • You can substitute Golden Oreos with chocolate Oreos if you prefer a darker base.
  • Store leftover mummy Oreo balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
