How To Make Mummy Oreo Truffles

Ingredient Notes

Oreo cookies – I recommend using the original Oreo cookies for this recipe, NOT "Double Stuffed" for the best results.
Cream cheese – Be sure to allow the cream cheese to soften before use.
Vanilla extract – I recommend using pure vanilla and not imitation vanilla for the best results.
Salt – A small amount helps to elevate the chocolate flavor in these Oreo truffles.
White chocolate chips – If you use a substitute like almond bark or candy melts then you will need to omit the oil below.
Vegetable oil – Canola oil can be used as well since it's another flavorless oil.
Candy eyes – The mummy needs to have eyes in order to see you better!

Easy Instructions With Photos

Make The Truffles

In a food processor or high-powered blender, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are pulverized into fine crumbs.
Add the cream cheese, vanilla, and salt, and pulse until moistened and combined.
Use a large melon baller, small cookie dough scoop, or measuring spoon to scoop out around a tablespoon of Oreo mixture at a time, then roll the mixture into a ball with your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture and place the balls about 2 inches apart onto your prepared cookie sheet.
Pop the Oreo balls into your fridge and chill for about 30 minutes. You can also freeze for about 15-20 minutes if preferred.

Make The White Chocolate “Mummy Wrap”

Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Start with 30 seconds in the microwave, then stir. Continue microwaving in 10-15 second intervals until completely melted, stirring in between each interval.
Stir the vegetable oil into the white chocolate until the texture is smooth and creamy.

Decorate The Mummy Oreo Truffles

Working as quickly, but as thoroughly as possible, submerge the Oreo balls into the white chocolate. Use a fork to lift the Oreo balls out of the white chocolate coating and allow the excess to drip off into the bowl.
Place the coated Oreo balls back onto the baking sheet and repeat the process until all of the balls are coated.
Place two eyes on the top of each truffle and allow the coating to harden on your counter for about 30 minutes, or in the freezer for around 15 minutes.
Pour the excess white chocolate into a zip lock baggie and seal. Snip off one corner of the bag (make a very small snip!) and pipe the white chocolate over the prepared truffles to create a bandaged, mummy-like appearance.
Allow the finished truffles to harden completely before serving.

Pro Recipe Tips

When adding the oreo cookies to the food processor, make sure to ddd in the entire cookie with the filling. The filling is needed just as much as the cookie to produce the right texture for the truffles.
Don't use "Double Stuff" Oreos for this recipe. The original Oreo cookies have the right amount of filling required for these truffles whereas the Double Stuff Oreos have too much filling and will compromise the texture of these treats.
White almond bark, candy melts or Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers can be used for coating the mummy Oreo truffles instead of the chocolate chips. You will just need to omit the vegetable oil from the recipe since these alternative options don't usually contain stabilizers as an ingredient, enabling them to melt much better into a smooth consistency without the aid of oil.
If your melted chocolate looks and feels too thick, simply stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Using a pair of clean craft tweezers will make it much easier when applying the candy eyes to your truffles. It's also a great way to ensure a precise placement of the candy eyes but, of course, this is totally optional.
The chocolate chips can also be melted over a double boiler if you don't have a microwave at your disposal.
It's important that you allow your cream cheese to soften so that it mixes well with the crushed Oreos to form luscious truffle centers.

Recipe Variations

Use Golden Oreos instead of the Original chocolate Oreos if you want a golden vanilla truffle center.
Look out for limited edition Oreo cookies at the start of the fall season – Pumpkin Spice Oreos are a good example of making use of fun seasonal products to adapt these Mummy Oreo Truffles.
Instead of candy eyes, you can draw on the mummy eyes using a black candy icing pen or by using frosting (black or even red would be great!).
Insert some wooden popsicle sticks into the bottom of each Mummy Oreo Truffle if you want to display these fun Halloween treats in a jar or a decorated styrofoam base – they make a festive display for any spooky-themed party!

What To Serve With Mummy Oreo Truffles

While these Mummy Oreo Truffles can be served and enjoyed as is, you could add them to a Halloween-themed platter with other delicious and spooky treats.

Oreo Truffles can also be enjoyed with a scoop of Cookies and Cream ice cream or vanilla ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

WHY DO I NEED TO ADD OIL TO MELTED CHOCOLATE CHIPS?

Melted chocolate chips can sometimes form lumps and bumps due to stabilizer ingredients found in most brands. The addition of oil helps to smooth out the melted chocolate so that you get a lump-free consistency, perfect for coating treats such as these Mummy Oreo Truffles!

While I've used vegetable oil, you can also use another flavorless oil such as canola oil instead.

HOW SHOULD I STORE LEFTOVER MUMMY OREO TRUFFLES?

Whether you are making these Halloween Oreo truffles ahead of time or have any leftovers, you can store these truffles in 3 ways:

At Room Temperature: These chocolate coated Oreo truffles can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a day or two at most since they contain cream cheese. If your environment is somewhat warm or humid then rather store them in the refrigerator so that they don't spoil.

Refrigerator: Store your Mummy Oreo Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Freezer: Store your treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. You can then allow them to soften slightly in the refrigerator before serving. If your candy eyes slide off, stick them back on with some frosting or extra melted chocolate.

WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A FOOD PROCESSOR?

While I've found that a food processor does a great job of achieving the right texture and consistency that can easily be shaped into balls, if you don't own a food processor then add your Oreo cookies to a Ziploc bag and crush them into very fine crumbs using a rolling pin.

After that, you will need to combine the cream cheese and crushed Oreos in a separate mixing bowl.
