Ingredients You Will Need
- Oreo cookies: Classic Oreos work great; Double Stuf or other varieties are also fine if you prefer a thicker filling.
- White chocolate: Use white melting chocolate, candy melts, or white chocolate wafers for easy melting and a smooth finish.
- Candy eyes: Small candy eyes lend a playful, spooky look and are easy to press into the softened chocolate.
The full ingredient list and quantities are included below in the recipe card.
Variations
- Switch the cookie: Try Golden Oreos, mini Oreos for bite-sized mummies, or seasonal Oreo flavors for variety.
- Colorful accents: Add a few drops of oil-based candy coloring to some melts for purple, green, or orange drizzles.
- Different eyes: Use small chocolate chips, colored sugar dots, or piped chocolate for alternative eye styles.
How to Make Oreo Mummy Cookies
- Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
- Dip each Oreo into the melted white chocolate, coating it evenly. Lift and tap gently to remove excess chocolate, then set the coated cookie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Before the chocolate sets fully, add two candy eyes to each cookie near the top, pressing lightly so they stick. Let the first layer firm up slightly.
- Drizzle additional melted white chocolate back and forth across each cookie to form the mummy “bandages.” Leave small gaps so the candy eyes remain visible. Allow the cookies to sit until the chocolate is fully set.
Tips
- Fully coat first: Cover each Oreo completely in the first layer of chocolate for a neater look before adding the drizzled bandages.
- Embrace imperfection: Irregular drizzle lines make the mummies look more authentic and charming.
- Secure the eyes: Press candy eyes into the soft chocolate so they adhere well while it sets.
Storage
Store finished Oreo Mummy Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Keep them in a cool, dry area to prevent the chocolate from softening or melting. If your home is warm, refrigerate briefly and bring them back to room temperature before serving so the chocolate isn’t too firm.
FAQs
Yes. White chocolate chips will work, but melting wafers or candy melts tend to melt smoother and set firmer, making them easier to work with for dipping and drizzling.
Absolutely. Once the chocolate has fully hardened, store the cookies in an airtight container. They keep well for several days, making them a convenient make-ahead party treat.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the cookies, or transfer it to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag and snip a tiny corner to pipe thin lines. Move the hand back and forth to create overlapping bandage lines.
