🎃Key Ingredients
For exact amounts needed see the recipe card below
Oreo cookies – Use regular or doubled stuffed, whichever you prefer.
White chocolate melts or white chocolate chips – These are melted to coat the cookies.
Candy eyeballs – You can find these at many grocery stores or order them online. Or make mini chocolate chip eyes.
🥣How to Make Oreo Mummies
1. Melt the Chocolate
Before you start, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to hold the dipped cookies. Then put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave it on low for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is smooth.
2. Dip the Cookies
Use a fork to dip each cookie into the melted white chocolate chips. Fully submerge the Oreo, so the chocolate covers both sides. Then place it on the parchment-lined baking sheets to harden. Work quickly because the chocolate will harden fast.
3. Add Eyeballs
Before the chocolate sets, add two candy eyes to each cookie. The candy eyeballs smear very easily, so make sure your hands are completely dry. Or use tweezers to place the eyes.
4. Add Mummy Bandages
Take the bowl of white chocolate and microwave it for about 15 seconds to remelt the chocolate. Add additional chocolate chips to the bowl if necessary. Then pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag.
Use a #2 round tip to pipe the bandages, or cut the tip off the piping bag. You want the bandages to be fairly thin, so just cut off a tiny bit and test to see how much comes out.
Drizzle lines of chocolate across the cookies. Make the bandages go in different directions, and try not to get the chocolate on the eyes. Once done, refrigerate the mummy treats for 5-10 minutes so the chocolate sets.

- Dip the end of the sucker stick in melted chocolate and put it in the center of the cookie. Put the cookie back together.
- Wait 5 minutes for the chocolate to harden, then proceed with the dipping and decorating.
📦How to Store
These mummy treats should be kept in an airtight container. Make sure they have hardened completely before storing. Use wax paper or parchment paper between the layers, so they don’t stick.
These will keep for about 1 day at room temperature or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. They get softer as they age.
