Three Ingredient Oreo Mummy Truffles
Will you love these Oreo Mummy Truffles? Of corpse you will! Dress up your truffles as a Halloween party favor for a fun and festive time. With only three simple ingredients, these no bake confections are no tricks and all treats.
Not to brag or anything but I’ve been wearing a mask and eating candy since March. Seven months is a long time to prep for spooky season, even for a sugar addict like me. But just when I thought my tolerance for Halloween treats had maxed out, I found a brick of cream cheese and a half eaten bag of Oreo cookies begging to be made into something creep-tacular.
And what’s more creepy than mummified bodies that don’t decay? Mummified bodies that have their brains removed through their noses, that’s what. By the way, I’m pretty sure Egyptians weren’t wrapping mummies in linen for corpse couture. Instead, they were using the absorbent strips like a body-sized tissue in case brain matter leaked out in the afterlife.
It sounds like a haunt mess.
Thankfully we live in a millennium where mummy heads are only incased in white chocolate. And with these embalmed truffle confections, there’s no cerebral cortex inside only crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese. Three ingredients and no baking make these Halloween treats frighteningly simple.
For a fun and festive time at this year’s costume party, dress up yourself then dress up your truffles. No trick and all treat, they’re so rich and delicious that of corpse you’ll love every bite.
Before sharing the recipe for Mummy Truffles, here are a few tips and tricks to help you out:
Ingredient Tips and Tricks
Choose a quality white chocolate for these truffles. I used Ghirardelli. No matter which brand you choose, do not substitute white chocolate chips because they are too waxy to melt properly.
When pulsing Oreos in the food processor use the entire cookie, filling and all.
Preparation Tips and Tricks
In truth, rolling the truffle mixture into balls is a bit of a messy situation. To minimize the fudgy fallout, dust the palms of your hands in cocoa powder before beginning.
If you do not have a proper dipping tool, dip truffles into melted white chocolate with a fork. Use a clean fork for each truffle to avoid getting black cookie crumbs in the white chocolate.
Storage and Freezing Tips for Oreo Mummy Truffles
Place truffles in an airtight container then in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 2 months.
