These Mummy Oreo Balls are a delightful no-bake Halloween treat made with just four ingredients. Featuring a creamy Oreo and cream cheese center coated with a hard vanilla candy shell and decorated with candy eyes, these fun little desserts are perfect for parties and easy enough to make with kids.

Ingredients

Oreo Mixture

  • 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

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later use to place the finished Oreo balls.
  2. Make Oreo Crumbs: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until they are broken down into very fine crumbs, ensuring a smooth texture for the balls.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and stir everything together until well combined into a smooth mixture.
  4. Form Balls: Use a cookie scoop to form the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between the palms of your hands until smooth, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet with the Oreo balls into the freezer for 30 minutes to firm them up before coating.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Following package instructions, melt the vanilla candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth and liquid.
  7. Coat Oreo Balls: Working one at a time, use a fork to dip each Oreo ball into the melted vanilla chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Tap off excess chocolate on the side of the bowl carefully to keep the shape intact, then transfer the coated balls back to the baking sheet.
  8. Decorate: Pour remaining melted chocolate into a small Ziploc bag and snip off a tiny corner. Drizzle chocolate over the coated Oreo balls to create mummy bandage effects, and immediately place two candy eyes on each ball. If the chocolate starts to harden too fast, attach eyes using a small dot of melted chocolate on their backs.
  9. Chill to Set: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden and set.
  10. Serve: Once set, serve your festive Mummy Oreo Balls and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • When dipping the Oreo balls into the chocolate, support them carefully on the fork; avoid poking holes into the balls.
  • If the candy melts become too thick during use, gently reheat in short bursts to maintain a smooth consistency.
  • These treats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • For a fun variation, try using milk or dark chocolate candy melts and different colored candy eyes.
