Ingredients & Preparation for Irresistible Mummy Oreo Balls

Cookie Base Essentials

For these delightful treats, you’ll need to crush Oreo cookies until they’re fine crumbs, removing any large pieces that might create lumps in your finished mummy balls. The finer the crumbs, the smoother your treats will be!

Binding Ingredients

• 1 package (14.3 oz) regular Oreo cookies
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for the eyes)

Pantry Staples

Have parchment paper ready for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. You might also want some vegetable shortening on hand to thin out the white chocolate if it becomes too thick for dipping.

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions for Irresistible Mummy Oreo Balls

Pre-Cooking Prep

Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Mixing Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spoon to mix until well combined.
2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Dipping and Decorating

1. Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
2. Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
3. Return the dipped balls to the parchment paper.
4. Before the chocolate sets, drizzle additional white chocolate in random lines across the balls to create a “mummy-wrapped” effect.
5. Immediately add two mini chocolate chips for the eyes before the chocolate hardens.

Cooling

Allow the mummy balls to set completely at room temperature or speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Pro Tips for Perfect Irresistible Mummy Oreo Balls

Avoiding Common Mistakes

• Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
• If the Oreo mixture becomes too sticky to roll, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes first.
• Don’t rush the chilling process – cold balls are much easier to dip.

Tool Recommendations

A cookie scoop ensures uniform-sized balls, while a dipping fork or toothpick helps manage the dipping process without making a mess.

Storage & Reheating

Store your mummy Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for up to 2 months. Allow frozen balls to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
