Ingredients
Scale
Mummy Oreo Balls
Cookies:
- 36 Oreo cookies (classic)
Filling:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)
Coating and Decoration:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate or candy melts
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the cookie crumbs, kneading thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable mixture develops.
- Carefully shape the mixture into uniform 1-inch spherical portions, compacting gently to maintain structural integrity.
- Refrigerate the formed balls for approximately 15 minutes to enhance firmness and facilitate chocolate coating.
- Melt white chocolate or candy melts in microwave, heating in 30-second increments and stirring between intervals to prevent scorching.
- Delicately submerge each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Transfer chocolate-coated balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Create distinctive “mummy bandage” effect by artfully drizzling additional white chocolate across the surface using a spoon or piping bag.
- Strategically position candy eyes on each ball before the chocolate completely solidifies.
- Return the decorated Oreo balls to the refrigerator, allowing them to set completely for approximately 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a food processor for ultra-fine, consistent Oreo crumbs that create a smoother texture and better binding.
- Chill the Oreo balls before dipping prevents them from falling apart in warm chocolate and ensures a cleaner coating.
- Work with cool hands or wear food-safe gloves to prevent the mixture from becoming too soft while rolling balls.
- Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid burning and achieve a silky, even consistency for dipping.
