Why You’ll Love This Mummy Oreo Balls Recipe

This recipe is not just tasty, it’s also incredibly easy and versatile. You only need three main ingredients, and you don’t even have to turn on the oven. Plus, decorating them into cute little mummies adds a creative touch that makes the process as enjoyable as the result. They’re also freezer-friendly, making them perfect for prepping ahead of time.

What Kind of Oreos Should I Use?

You can use classic Oreos for the most traditional flavor, but feel free to experiment with other varieties like Golden Oreos or seasonal flavors if you want a twist. Just avoid the “Double Stuf” versions as they add too much moisture and can make the mixture overly soft.

Ingredients for the Mummy Oreo Balls

To make these delightful Mummy Oreo Balls, you’ll only need a handful of ingredients. Each one plays a key role in flavor and structure.

• Oreos
• Cream cheese
• White melting chocolate
• Candy eyeballs
• Optional: coconut oil or shortening

Oreos provide the cookie base and rich chocolate flavor that makes up the bulk of the filling. Cream cheese acts as a binder, making the crushed cookies into a soft dough-like consistency. White melting chocolate is what you’ll use to coat and decorate the mummies, creating that ghostly finish. Candy eyeballs bring the cute spooky look to life, and a little coconut oil can be added to the melted chocolate for a smoother drizzle.

How To Make the Mummy Oreo Balls

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

Add your Oreos to a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. You want the texture to resemble coarse sand.

Step 2: Mix in the Cream Cheese

Add softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and blend until fully combined. The mixture should come together into a soft, doughy ball.

Step 3: Form the Balls

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into equal pieces and roll into smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Chill

Pop the tray in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the balls are firm enough to dip.

Step 5: Dip in White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Use a fork or dipping tool to coat each Oreo ball, tapping off the excess before placing back on the tray.

Step 6: Add Eyes and Drizzle

While the coating is still soft, gently press candy eyes into each ball. Once set, use extra melted white chocolate to drizzle mummy-like lines across the top.

Step 7: Let Set

Let the mummy Oreo balls rest at room temperature or chill them again until the chocolate drizzle is firm. Then they’re ready to enjoy!

How to Serve and Store Your Mummy Oreo Balls

These mummy Oreo balls are a hit at any spooky season gathering, but they also work beautifully as party favors, lunchbox surprises, or festive desserts. One batch typically makes around 24 balls, which is great for feeding a crowd or freezing extras.

To store, place them in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the refrigerator before serving. They hold their shape and taste perfectly either way.
