Description

Delightfully spooky and easy to make, these Mummy Oreo Balls combine crushed Golden Oreos and creamy cream cheese, coated in a smooth vanilla candy melt shell and decorated with candy eyes for a fun Halloween treat that’s no-bake and kid-friendly.

Ingredients

Units 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

  1. 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.
  2. Crush Oreos: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until they become a very fine crumb, ensuring a smooth texture for the truffles.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet into the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the Oreo balls to set firmly before coating.
  6. Melt chocolate: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to package instructions, either using a microwave or a double boiler method, until smooth.
  7. 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.
  8. Set coated balls: Place the coated Oreo balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to begin hardening.
  9. 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.
  10. Chill: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating and decorations to fully set.
  11. 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.
