Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Crush Oreos: Pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor until they become very fine crumbs, ensuring a smooth texture for the mixture.
- Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Form Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion out about 1-inch-sized balls. Roll each ball between your palms until smooth, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to set firmly.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the vanilla candy melts according to the package instructions, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency for dipping.
- Coat Oreo Balls: Using a fork, dip each frozen Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, turning it to coat evenly. Tap off any excess chocolate carefully. The truffle should rest on the fork without the tines piercing it.
- Decorate: Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Pour any remaining melted chocolate into a zip-top bag, cut a tiny hole in one corner, and drizzle the chocolate over the balls in thin lines to emulate mummy wrappings. Attach two candy eyes to each ball; if the chocolate hardens quickly, use a small dab of melted chocolate to adhere the eyes.
- Set Chocolate: Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating and drizzle to fully harden.
- Serve: Once set, serve these whimsical mummy treats to delight guests and enjoy the creamy, crunchy texture combination.
