Mummy Oreo Balls and Rice Krispies

In need of some last minute, but quick and easy Halloween treats?

You can make these mummy rice Krispie treats and Oreo balls with simple ingredients you probably already have at home!

For the Rice Krispies:

They're cute, they're spooky and they're everything a Halloween party should be - without any of the complicated baking.

What you'll need:

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 6 cups rice Krispie cereal

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 package regular or jumbo marshmallows

• White chocolate candy melts

• Candy eyeballs

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the marshmallows and stir continuously until they're melted and gooey. Remove from heat and add in the vanilla extract for a little kick in flavor.

Immediately stir in the Rice Krispie cereal. Mix it until all the cereal is fully coated in the marshmallow.

Press the mixture down slightly into a greased 9 X 9 pan to create your base layer. I like to spray my spatula with cooking spray to it doesn't stick.

Allow the Rice Krispies to sit at room temperature until set (about 20 minutes). Cut into 12 even, rectangular pieces.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. This will make your mummy bandages. Use a spoon or a pipping back to drizzle the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispies in a messy crisscross pattern.

Before the chocolate hardens all the way, press two cany eyes into each mummy giving them that adorable (or spooky) look. Let the white chocolate finish hardening and you've just created the cutest mummies ever!

For the Oreo Balls:

If you're looking for a fun, easy and delicious Halloween dessert this year, these mummy Oreo balls fit the bill. I took a basic, no bake Oreo ball recipe and turned it into these adorable mummy truffles.

What you'll need:

• 1 package of Oreos (I like to use double stuffed)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• White chocolate candy melts

• Candy eyeballs

Pulse the cookies in a food processor or blender until they are a fine crumb. Then combine with the cream cheese. You can add it directly to the food processor/blender or you can transfer the cookie crumbs to a stand mixer.

Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour so the dough becomes firmer and it's easier to roll out the dough balls.

Using a cookie scoop, form 1-inch balls and place them in the freezer.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Dip each Oreo truffle into the white chocolate coating, turning it to coat each side.

Tap any excess off and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top of the balls in a messy crisscross pattern to create the mummy bandages.

Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or until they set, then enjoy!
