Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies (regular or chocolate)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Coating Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate or white candy melts
Decorative Ingredients:
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies to a fine powder using a food processor, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the cookie crumbs, mixing thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape the mixture into uniform 1-inch spheres, carefully positioning them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the oreo balls in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes to solidify their structure.
- Gently melt white chocolate or candy melts following the manufacturer’s recommended method, typically using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power.
- Carefully submerge each chilled oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet, maintaining adequate spacing.
- Create distinctive mummy-like bandage patterns by drizzling additional melted white chocolate using a fork or piping tool with precision.
- While the chocolate remains tacky, delicately place candy eyes on each ball to simulate a playful mummy appearance.
- Refrigerate the decorated oreo balls for approximately 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely and achieve optimal texture.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese before mixing to ensure smoother blending with Oreo crumbs and prevent cracking.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform ball sizes, creating a more professional and consistent look.
- Opt for gluten-free Oreos and dairy-free cream cheese to make the recipe suitable for different dietary needs.
- Keep the Oreo balls cold while dipping in chocolate to prevent them from falling apart and maintain their shape during coating.
