Oreos: Use absolutely any kind you want. Choose from regular, Mega Stuf or Double Stuf, or flavored ones like chocolate covered.

Melt the wafers: Melt them in a pastry bag in the microwave, stirring every now and then. Let them cool.
Arrange the cookies: Spread the Oreos over a parchment paper lined baking sheet, leaving space in between each.
Decorate the Oreos: Drizzle the melted wafers back and forth over the Oreo cookies to look like bandages. Press on the candy eyes and then add some more bandages. Let them set completely before serving.
Substitutions and Variations
Gluten-free option: If you want a gluten-free version, choose gluten-free Oreos and make sure the other ingredients are free from gluten.
Different cookies: Any chocolate sandwich cookies will work, or you could try something different such as Nutter Butters.
No candy eyes? Use white frosting and a chocolate chip to make each eyeball.
Serving Suggestions
Scary snacks: This 2-ingredient Halloween skull platter is another super-easy dish, or give this black charcoal crust pizza a whirl.
Ghoulish desserts: Serve up some mummy hand pies and spider cookies to keep the Halloween theme going!
Something spooky to sip: This Halloween eyeball punch is fun for the grownups while spooky ice cream floats are perfect for the little ghouls and goblins!
How to Store Oreo Mummy Cookies
Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze: You can freeze these in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Thaw: Either overnight in the refrigerator or for a couple of hours on the countertop will work.
Top Tips
No piping bag? Use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
Don’t under-drizzle: Lots of drizzles looks like lots of layers of bandages, so take your time and drizzle in all different directions.
Setting time: These mummy Oreo cookie pops will take at least 15 minutes to set so give them sufficient time. Pop them in the fridge if you want them to set faster.
Mummy Cookie FAQs
Melting wafers are also known as compound chocolate or chocolate melts. They melt well and don’t need to be tempered (slow heating and cooling for a shiny result). You can use melted vanilla almond bark or melted white chocolate chips or white mini chocolate chips if you want – they’ll work fine.
Definitely! Younger kids can stick on the candy eyes while older ones can drizzle the melted chocolate over the Oreos.
I’ve made them a couple of days in advance and they’ve been fine, so don’t worry if you need to make the Oreo mummies ahead.
You can poke a lollipop stick about halfway through the filling if you want to make mummy Oreo pops on sticks. If you do this, add the remaining melted chocolate or melted candies around where the lollipop stick goes into the cookie to help hold it in place.

Oreo Mummies
Equipment
- Pastry Bag Small
- Microwave or Double Boiler, for melting chocolate
Ingredients
- 25 Oreo cookies, any kind
- 10 Ounces melting wafers, white
- 50 candy eyes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet using parchment paper.
- Put the white melting wafers in a microwave-safe pastry bag and heat on a low or defrost setting in 30-second increments, massaging the bag a little every time you check on it. Once melted, let it cool for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the bag feels cool to the touch.
- Lay the cookies out on the prepared baking sheet and space them out several inches apart.
- Snip a little piece of the tip off the piping bag and drizzle the melted waters onto the mummies, from left to right, making lots of zigzags to resemble bandages.
- Add the eyes quickly before it sets. This first layer will help it to stick on.
- Now go back over all of the cookies and drizzle more bandages in all directions.
- Let them set completely and then serve.
