Mummy Oreo Balls for Halloween (Mummy Truffles)
These fun mummy Oreo balls for Halloween are the perfect recipe for kids to help with. With only four ingredients, these Oreo bars are actually quite easy to make.
Equipment
- 1 Food processor
Ingredients
- 15.35 oz Double Stuf Oreos You need about 25 from the package.
- 4 oz Cream cheese softened
- 16 oz Almond bark or other melting white chocolate
- 50 Candy googley eyes
Instructions
- Using a food processor, crush the Oreos until finely ground. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the softened cream cheese with the Oreo crumbs. Stir well until all the crumbs are coated and the dough balls up and becomes less crumbly.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or a heaping teaspoon - divide the dough equally to create about 1-inch size balls and roll between the palms of your hands to round out the edges as best as possible. Set on a piece of parchment. Continue until all the dough is shaped.
- Place the sheet of parchment on a cutting board or sheet pan that will fit in the fridge or freezer. Chill for at least 30 minutes to solidify the dough balls.
- Once chilled, begin melting the white chocolate. Transfer the white chocolate (or white candy coating) to a microwavable bowl. Heat in 30 second increments and stir well between each heat interval. Only heat until the mixture is smooth - do not overheat as it will scorch the chocolate.
- Once the white chocolate is smooth, place one ball of dough in the bowl and use a spoon to roll and cover in the melted chocolate. Gently scoop it out of the melted mixture and tap on the side of the bowl to release any excess and allow it to drip back into the bowl for about 10 seconds. Carefully place on the parchment and use the very tip of the spoon to smooth and cover the white chocolate where the spoon may have left an indent. Continue until all the balls are coated in white chocolate.
- Transfer the remaining melted white chocolate to a piping bag or Ziploc bag. Cut a small hole in the tip of the bag.
- Working quickly, drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped balls - only to 2-3 at a time. Immediately follow up by pressing two eye balls into place on each mummy truffle.
- Allow about 10-15 minutes for the white chocolate to set before moving to a serving platter.
