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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate coating and decorations fully set.
- 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.
