Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces (454 grams) white chocolate chips or candy melts
Decoration:
- Candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine, powdery crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into cookie crumbs, kneading until a uniform, moldable mixture forms.
- Shape the mixture into perfectly rounded, compact 1-inch spheres using gentle, consistent pressure.
- Refrigerate the oreo balls for 20 minutes to firm up their structure and enhance flavor melding.
- Gently melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Carefully submerge each chilled oreo ball into melted white chocolate, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Transfer chocolate-covered balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Create distinctive mummy-like bandage effect by strategically drizzling additional white chocolate in thin, crisscrossing lines.
- Swiftly place candy eyeballs onto each ball before the chocolate solidifies, positioning them to create a playful appearance.
- Return the decorated oreo balls to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until chocolate sets completely.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these whimsical, Halloween-inspired treats.
Notes
- Crush cookies completely to ensure smooth, uniform texture without large chunks for better binding and consistent shape.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to blend seamlessly and prevent lumpy mixture when combining with cookie crumbs.
- Chill balls thoroughly before dipping in chocolate to maintain structural integrity and prevent crumbling during coating process.
- Keep white chocolate melted at low temperature and work quickly when coating to achieve clean, smooth mummy wrap effect.
