Here are some commonly asked questions
How to store leftover Mummy Cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. I don’t recommend refrigerating them as the eyes don’t do well in the damp environment of the refrigerator. They tend to bleed and weap a bit.
Can I freeze Mummy Cookies?
Yes, you can freeze these cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and they will keep for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before eating.
BUT – as I mentioned above – the eyes don’t do well in a damp environment. SOOOOO – I recommend storing them without the eyes and adding them right before serving.

Ingredients for Mummy Cookies
- Nutter Butter cookies
- almond bark
- white chocolate chips
- candy eyeballs
What is the best chocolate for dipping cookies?
While you can use chocolate chips to make these, I have found that it often requires a bit of coconut oil or shortening to get the chocolate to melt to the right consistency.
I like to use candy melts because the chocolate is made with just the right formula so that it performs exactly as needed.
The candy melts come in a multitude of colors, varieties, and flavors so the sky is the limit on what you can do with them when it comes to making chocolate-coated goodies.
We made this recipe using almond bark and then used white chocolate chips to make the mummy part. You can sub candy melts for the almond bark and the white chocolate chips if you want to make this recipe even easier.
We used the almond bark because it comes in large quantities, making it easy to melt a lot of it at one time.
How to Make Mummy Cookies
- Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe dish for 20 seconds and mix. Repeat until all the bark is melted.
- Place the nutter butter cookies into the melted bark. Use tongs to press the cookies into the melted chocolate and fully coat the cookies. Remove the cookies and place them onto the parchment paper.
- Allow the chocolate coating to completely cool for 10 minutes.
- Once the bark is completely cooled melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish for 20 seconds and mix. Repeat until all the chocolate chips are melted. **See notes in post for melting tips.
- Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag. Cut the tip or the corner of the bag depending on how thick you want your mummy stripes to be.
- Pipe the white chocolate over the cookies in a back and forth zigzag pattern to create the look of a mummy.
- Complete the mummies by adding two candy eyes.
Why didn’t my chocolate wafers melt correctly?
When your chocolate wafers become chunky rather than creamy, it is said that the chocolate is seized. This is typically due to overheating or contact with water or steam.
In the first case, the chocolate is just burning from excess heat, but in the second case, there is a negative reaction between the chocolate (which is waxy and has many oils that are hydrophobic, or “water-fearing”) and the water, causing the components of the chocolate to separate.
Be sure to refer to the package directions when melting chocolate to prevent this from happening.
Can I use sugar-free chocolate?
I haven’t tried using sugar-free chocolate. But I think that will work just fine. That being said – you would need to also find some carb-friendly cookies in a similar shape to make these low-carb altogether.
Are Mummy Cookies Easy to Make?
If cake pops, chocolate truffles, or other chocolate-dipped treats intimidate you, don’t fret! These chocolate-covered Nutter Butter cookies are SO much quicker and easier and you can customize them a million ways.
These little cookies decorated like mummies take very little time to make start to finish and are perfect for packaging up in Halloween treat bags for the little ones!

Can Kids Help Make Them?
Yes, this is a great activity to do with kids. They will have fun helping to decorate the cookies, dipping, adding the drizzle, and the eyes. Just be sure an adult handles melting the chocolate as the bowl can get quite hot.
