Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 40 chocolate sandwich cookies
Candy Coating
- 6 ounces white candy melts
- 6 ounces green candy melts
- 6 ounces purple candy melts
- 6 ounces orange candy melts
- 2 ounces black candy melts
Decorations
- Halloween sprinkles
- Candy eyeball decorations
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or a smooth reusable silicone baking sheet to ensure the dipped Oreos don’t stick and can set properly.
- Melt the candy melts: Place one color of candy melts in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Heat at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the candy melts are fully melted and smooth without lumps.
- Dip the Oreos: Drop one Oreo cookie into the melted candy melts. Using a spoon, carefully flip the Oreo upside down so it is fully coated on all sides.
- Remove excess coating: Use a fork to scoop the coated Oreo from the candy melts. Gently shake or tap the fork to remove excess coating to get an even layer.
- Set the Oreos: Transfer the coated Oreo to the prepared cookie sheet to set and harden slightly before decorating.
- Add decorations: While the candy coating is still wet, immediately add Halloween-themed sprinkles or candy eyeballs to the top of each Oreo for a festive look.
- Pipe additional designs: Once the candy coating has fully hardened, melt the black candy melts. Using a piping bag fitted with a small tip, pipe spooky designs or outlines onto the Oreos for extra detail.
- Storage: Store the fully set chocolate-covered Halloween Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Melting candy melts at half power prevents burning and ensures smooth consistency.
- Immediately decorate while coating is wet to ensure sprinkles and eyeballs stick well.
- Work with one color at a time for better control and presentation.
- Use a silicone baking mat as an eco-friendly alternative to wax paper.
- Allow plenty of time for the candy coating to set completely before piping black designs.
- These treats can also be refrigerated to speed up candy melt hardening but best stored at room temperature after.
