Mummy Bites
Halloween is nearly here, and what better way to celebrate than with monstrously delicious mummy bites cookie balls!
They’re really easy to make and lots of fun because there’s smooshing and rolling of cookie crumbs and cream cheese into perfectly sized mummy bite balls.
Once you have the cookie balls ready, they get dipped into melted white candy melts from Wilton. For the easiest and prettiest results, I love using my melter. It’s the best invention ever!
And once they’ve been dipped, you’ll want to add some ragged bandages to your mummy bites, so dip a toothpick in the melted candy and paint them side to side over the surface of the cookie ball.
Add candy eyeballs and your mummy bites are done!
Aren’t they cute?

We celebrate Dia de los Muertos along with Halloween (and my birthday) so I have several reasons to make these + celebrate! YUM!
Christie says
These look so delicious and perfect for a kids party. Or a work party. Or a potluck. Or just because I want some. LOL
Jenni says
I love Oreo truffles, and they are so cute all dressed up as mummies!
Valentina | The Baking Fairy says
These are so much fun! I love making Oreo truffles and the decoration for these is perfect!
John Smith says
“Your favorite Halloween Character is or your favorite Halloween dessert!” Hmm, these are tough questions. How about Casper the Friendly Ghost, since he’s so nice and friendly? And I like Fifth Avenue Bars any time, so I’ll say that as a dessert.
Dana Rodriguez says
Those are just adorable! I love Jack Skellington or anything skull related. This is a great list of ideas!
Sherry says
These are the cutest. I can see my snacking away on them and “forgetting” to leave any for others.
Toni | Boulder Locavore says
These are really cute! And they are so easy to make!
Karen says
I have one of those melters! I agree, it’s fabulous. Love these.

These Mummy Bites are exactly what my kids need in their snacking lives! I need to make these for an afterschool treat!

I love Day of the Dead things. Probably my favorite costume that I’ve been was Frida Kahlo. The dessert you featured – I like:
Day of the Dead Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes from Pook’s Pantry. How Fun!
Typical Halloween characters I like Frankenstein.
