This mummy bites recipe was made for #HalloweenTreatsWeek.
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?

Ingredients
- 1 12-oz pkg chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6-oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 pkg Wilton candy melts, white
- 1 pkg Wilton candy eyes
Instructions
- Use a food processor to crush cookies into fine crumbs.
- Use a mixer or your hands to combine cookie crumbs and cream cheese until thoroughly mixed. Roll into balls and place on parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Melt Wilton candy melts according to package directions. Roll each cookie ball in melted candy until coated. Let excess drip off and place on cookie sheet. Let candy coating firm up a bit. Using a toothpick, paint ragged lines of melted candy side to side over the dipped cookie ball to resemble bandages. Use a bit of melted candy to attach two eyes to each mummy bite. Store in the refrigerator.

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

“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!

These are the cutest. I can see my snacking away on them and “forgetting” to leave any for others.

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.
