Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Ball Base
- 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 Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to place the Oreo balls after shaping.
- Make Oreo Crumbs: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until finely ground to create a crumbly texture for the base mixture.
- Combine with Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese until well combined and smooth, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Form Balls: Using a cookie scoop, form about 1-inch balls. Roll each between your palms until smooth and uniform. Place them on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze to Set: Transfer the baking sheet with the Oreo balls into the freezer for 30 minutes to help them firm up for easier dipping.
- Melt Candy Coating: According to the package directions, melt the vanilla candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each Oreo ball one at a time into the melted white chocolate, turning to fully coat. Tap off excess coating on the bowl edge. Make sure the balls rest on top of the fork without piercing.
- Place Back on Sheet: Return the coated Oreo balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate with Drizzle and Eyes: Pour remaining melted chocolate into a zip-top bag, cut a small hole in a corner, and drizzle over the balls to create mummy wrap details. Affix two candy eyes on each ball. If chocolate hardens, use a dot of melted chocolate to stick the eyes securely.
- Chill to Set: Place the decorated Oreo balls into the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating and decorations to fully set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve these festive mummy treats for a fun Halloween dessert experience.
