Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post (for the full recipe).

  • Step 1: Heat the candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl, in 20-30 second intervals until melted to the right consistency to dip.
  • Step 2: Tap the cookies then dip into the coating mix, half way.
  • Step 3: Lay out on a baking sheet with wax paper to dry. (Speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator).
  • Step 4: Freshen up the coating mix again then dip the other side of the Oreo mummies to completely coat. Lay out on the baking sheet again.

  • Step 5: While the cookies are still setting, place the candy eyes on each cookie.
  • Step 6: Add the remaining candy coating to a piping bag (pastry bag) and snip the corner (or use a small tip). Pipe the 'bandages' over the cookies.
  • Step 7: Allow the coating to set before serving.

Hint: Make sure to tap the cookies before you dip them into the coating. It's a great way avoid you getting crumbs in the coating mix.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

  • White Chocolate - instead of white candy wafers use melted chocolate.
  • Coconut Oil - add a little to the candy melts, or chocolate to thin it a little.
  • Parchment Paper - you could use this instead of the wax paper.
  • White Almond Bark - instead of the candy melts. This works great too.

How to store leftovers

Once the Mummy Oreos have hardened you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Mel's kitchen notes

Save on the candy melts, don't dip the cookies and just apply the eyes using a dab of the melted candy on the back of the eyes to attach to the cookies then pipe the 'bandages' over the dark cookies. It can give a different look with the same idea.

Frequently asked questions: FAQs

Can I speed up the setting time for the candy coating?

If you place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for a little while it will speed up the setting time.

Could I make a different cookie instead of Oreos?

You could use any cookie you like. Nutter Butter looks great!

  • Once you have reached a dippable consistency, take an oreo cookie, tap any crumbs off, then dip into the candy coating as much as to the tip of your thumb.
    15 Each Oreo Cookies
  • Lay the cookie down on a baking sheet covered with wax paper, and repeat with the remaining cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to firm up (placing in the refrigerator will speed this up. About 30 minutes is ok.

  • Lay down on the wax paper again.
  • While the cookies are still setting place the candy eyes onto each cookie.
    30 Each Candy Eyes
  • Take the remaining candy coating and pour into a piping bag (or a resealable bag then snip the corner). Using a small tip, or just snip the corner, drizzle over each cookie to represent the bandage of a mummy.
  • Allow to finish hardening before serving.
