Whether you're hosting a Halloween bash or simply craving a wickedly delightful snack, our Mummy Truffles are guaranteed to impress all your guests! What's more, these eerie confections are incredibly easy to make, making them the perfect choice for busy bakers and last-minute party planners.
Using a food processor, crush the Oreos until finely ground. Transfer to a large 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 do 2-3 at a time. Immediately follow up with eye balls and press into place.
Allow about 10-15 minutes for the white chocolate to set before moving.
Notes
We like the double stuffed Oreos for more flavor, but regular would work too.Instead of the cream cheese, you could substitute equal parts premade frosting - it’s just to bind the Oreo crumbs together, but we’d recommend vanilla frosting.We recommend making about a 1 inch size truffle. It makes a nice bite-sized piece. Anything bigger and it may be too much for folks. Anything smaller and it’s not quite enough and a lot more work.
