Ingredients

Scale
Base
- 20 Golden Oreos
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
Coating
- 10 ounces vanilla candy melts or dipping wafers
Decoration
- 1 package candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to catch any drips and keep your Oreo balls from sticking.
- Crush Oreos: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until they become a very fine crumb, ensuring a smooth texture for the truffles.
- Mix base: Combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Form balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion out about 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between the palms of your hands until smooth. Place the formed balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the Oreo balls to set firmly before coating.
- Melt chocolate: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to package instructions, either using a microwave or a double boiler method, until smooth.
- Coat balls: Pour the melted chocolate into a small bowl or glass. Using a fork, carefully dip each Oreo ball, ensuring the ball is coated fully while resting on the tines without piercing it. Tap off excess chocolate.
- Set coated balls: Place the coated Oreo balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to begin hardening.
- Decorate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the bottom corner, and drizzle chocolate over the balls in a mummy-like pattern. Immediately stick two candy eyes on each ball. If the chocolate thickens too quickly, use a small dot of melted chocolate to adhere the eyes.
- Chill: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating and decorations to fully set.
- Serve: Remove from fridge and enjoy your festive mummy Oreo balls!
Notes
- Perfect no-bake Halloween treat that’s quick and easy to make with kids.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for best mixing results.
- If candy melts harden too fast, warm slightly to keep workable.
- Store finished Oreo balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
