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.
