Place the Oreos in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize into small crumbs.
36 Oreo sandwich cookies
Add the cream cheese into the food processor and process until the mixture is fully combined and clumps into a “dough”. You may need to stop and scrape the sides/give the mixture a good stir in order to achieve a smooth texture.
8 ounces cream cheese
Use a 1-tablespoon-sized scoop to make balls of the mixture, and place each ball on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm the dough a bit. Roll each ball between the palms of your hands to form a smooth ball. Return to freezer for 10 minutes.
Melt the 2 ounces of melting wafers in a small bowl and dip the end of a stick into the melted chocolate, and then insert halfway into the pop. Return to freezer again for around 10 minutes.

Place 14 ounces of white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the wafers are melted and smooth.
Working with one ball at a time, dip the firm ball into the melted wafer, turning it gently to coat completely. Tap off the excess coating, and place the coated ball on a baking sheet lined with clean parchment paper. Continue this way until all the mummy truffles are coated.
Melt the remaining 4 ounces of white melting wafers the same way. Transfer the melted candy to a small zip-top bag, and snip off one corner of the bag. Working with one mummy pop at a time, drizzle the white melted candy across one truffle to look like mummy bandages, and immediately place on 2 candy eyes.
52 small candy eyeballs
Continue this way until all the mummy truffles are made.

Be sure to soften your cream cheese to room temp. This way, you won't end up with clumps of cream cheese in your truffles.
Candy melting wafer coating hardens quite quickly, so I recommend decorating the truffles as you go so that the decorations stick. However, there is a fix if you happen to wait too long to add the mummy eyes; you can always add a tiny bit of melted candy on the back of each eyeball (as “glue”) and then place them on the truffles.
There are specific truffle or cake pop stands that you can place the dipped sticks on in order to avoid the back of the truffle being flat, if that's your fancy.
Cracking typically happens when your Oreo truffles are too cold compared to the heat of the melted chocolate. If you leave your truffles in the freezer for too long before dipping them, it will more than likely cause the chocolate to crack. If you happen to do so, leave the truffles at room temperature for around 10-15 minutes before dipping to avoid cracks. A few cracks here and there isn't a huge deal, as you'll be covering most with the drizzle!
