Print Recipe

These no-bake mummy truffles combine Reese’s peanut butter cups and cream cheese for a quick, festive Halloween treat with a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 standard-sized Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175 g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • About 24 mini candy eyes
  • 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the Reese’s peanut butter cups into small pieces about 1/4 inch in size.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 30-45 minutes or microwaving for 15 seconds.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped peanut butter cups with the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed until blended but still chunky.
  4. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until smooth and firm enough to shape. Add more powdered sugar if too sticky.
  5. Roll the mixture into 24 small balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  6. Melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second bursts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between bursts until smooth. Add shortening or coconut oil if needed to thin.
  7. Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small corner cut off and pipe thin, irregular lines over each truffle to mimic mummy bandages.
  8. While the white chocolate is still wet, press two mini candy eyes onto each truffle.
  9. Chill the truffles in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until the white chocolate hardens and truffles are firm.
  10. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

If white chocolate thickens while piping, warm gently in 10-second bursts. Chill truffles before decorating to help white chocolate set faster. Use a fork or spoon to drizzle white chocolate if no piping bag is available. Keep hands lightly dusted with powdered sugar when shaping to prevent sticking.
