Step-by-Step Instructions
How to Make White Chocolate Mummy Truffles
These White Chocolate Mummy Truffles come together in just a few simple steps. They don’t require any baking, and once you’ve made the base, decorating them is half the fun. Here’s how to make them from start to spooky finish:
1. Soften the base
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of ground cookies and 1 cup of Coca-Cola. Stir well and let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes. The soda softens the crumbs and adds just the right amount of moisture.
2. Add chocolate and butter
Pour in 4 oz of melted chocolate and 2 oz of melted butter. Mix until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth, thick, and moldable.
3. Chill the dough
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Chilling helps the dough firm up so it’s easier to roll.
4. Roll into truffles
Scoop out 1-inch portions and roll them into smooth balls using your hands. Line the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Freezing is key to clean dipping.
5. Dip in white chocolate
Melt 10 oz of white chocolate in a bowl. Using a fork or dipping tool, drop each frozen ball into the chocolate and coat it evenly. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then transfer each truffle back onto the parchment paper. Freeze again for 10 minutes.
6. Add mummy bandages
Melt the remaining 2 oz of white chocolate and transfer it into a Ziploc or piping bag. Snip a tiny corner and drizzle across each truffle in zigzag lines to mimic bandages.
7. Dot on the eyes
Use black icing gel or edible marker to add two dots on each truffle. Now your White Chocolate Mummy Truffles are complete—and perfectly spooky!
Tips for Perfect Halloween Truffles
To make your White Chocolate Mummy Truffles look professional and stay firm, keep these tips in mind:
- Freeze thoroughly before dipping—this helps the coating set fast and stay smooth.
- Don’t overheat the white chocolate. Use short bursts in the microwave and stir between each.
- Use good-quality white chocolate—it melts better and has a richer taste.
- Let the decorations set in the fridge, especially if you’re stacking them for a party.
These simple steps make sure your Halloween treats not only look adorable but also taste amazing.
Decoration & Storage
Decorating Your White Chocolate Mummy Truffles
Once dipped and chilled, your White Chocolate Mummy Truffles are ready for their Now comes the part everyone looks forward to—turning these delicious little truffles into Halloween-ready mummies! This decorating step is simple, creative, and a great opportunity to get the whole family involved.
Start by placing your chilled truffles on a flat surface lined with parchment. Pour the remaining white chocolate into a small plastic bag or piping bag. Snip off a tiny corner, and gently squeeze the melted chocolate in crisscross lines over each truffle to create a wrapped look. The beauty of this step is that there’s no need to be neat—mummies are supposed to look a bit tangled and irregular, which makes them even more fun.
Next, bring them to life by giving each truffle a pair of eyes. You can do this using black icing gel, food-safe markers, or small dabs of dark melted chocolate. Just two little dots are enough to give these White Chocolate Mummy Truffles their signature spooky stare.
Want to get even more creative? Try adding expressions with icing—some surprised, some sleepy, or even one-eyed mummies. It’s all about having fun while making your Halloween treat table stand out.

| Room Temperature | 1–2 days (cool room) | Best avoided if your house is warm |

These White Chocolate Mummy Truffles are the perfect make-ahead treat. You can prepare them days before Halloween, decorate the night before, and pull them out just in time to impress your guests—or sneak a few for yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best chocolate to make truffles?
The best chocolate for truffles is one with a high cocoa butter content—usually couverture or baking chocolate. It melts smoothly and gives your truffles a rich, creamy texture. For these White Chocolate Mummy Truffles, choose a quality white chocolate bar rather than white chocolate chips, which can be harder to melt evenly.
How many calories are in a Lindor white chocolate truffle?
A single Lindor white chocolate truffle contains around 75 to 80 calories, depending on the size. While these homemade White Chocolate Mummy Truffles may differ in exact calorie count, they’re a similar bite-sized indulgence.
What type of chocolate is best for truffles?
Truffles work best with chocolate that has at least 55–70% cocoa for dark chocolate varieties. Milk and white chocolate also work beautifully, especially for themed recipes like White Chocolate Mummy Truffles, where a light, sweet flavor is part of the charm.
How long do homemade chocolate truffles last?
Homemade truffles last about 7–10 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. If you freeze them, they can keep for up to 2 months. Be sure to keep your White Chocolate Mummy Truffles chilled, especially if you’re making them ahead of a Halloween event.
What is poor man’s truffle?
A “poor man’s truffle” usually refers to a quick, simplified version of a traditional truffle, made with fewer ingredients like crushed cookies, condensed milk, or soda instead of ganache. Recipes like these White Chocolate Mummy Truffles, made with cookies and Coca-Cola, are a fun and creative twist on the idea—easy, affordable, and delicious.
What are common truffle-making mistakes?
