This mummy cookies recipe was made for Halloween Treats week. I had so much fun making these little monster mummy truffles. I think they’d be perfect for Halloween parties; kids will love them!

They’re really easy to make and it’s lots of fun to smoosh and roll the cookie crumbs and cream cheese into the little round mummy cookie balls. 

Aren’t they cute?

Ingredients for mummy cookies

  • Oreo cookies 
  • cream cheese
  • white candy melts
  • candy eyeballs

How to make mummy cookies

Step 1: Crush the Oreos in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. If you’d rather do it by hand, you can put the cookies in a heavy-duty sealable freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

Step 2: In a mixer, cream together the cream cheese and cookie crumbs until thoroughly blended. Roll into balls and place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Melt the white candy melts according to package directions and then roll each of the mummy cookies in the melted candy until covered. Let excess drip off and lay on cookie sheet. For the easiest and prettiest results, I love using my melter. It’s the best invention ever! 

Step 4: Make the bandages. Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, use the melted candy to paint ragged bandages side to side across the mummy truffles. Technically you could pipe the candy from side to side but I like using a toothpick because the bandages look more old and worn. 

Step 5: Add the candy eyeballs using a little of the melted candy as adhesive.

How to store mummy bites

Store the cookie balls in the refrigerator and allow them to sit out for a bit before serving (to take the chill off).

    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.

    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.
