Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 40 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
Candy Melts
- 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 use a smooth reusable silicone baking mat. This prevents the dipped Oreos from sticking and makes cleaning up easier.
- Melt candy melts: Place one color of candy melts in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Heat at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth. Take care to avoid overheating, which can cause the candy to seize.
- Dip the Oreos: Using a spoon, carefully submerge one Oreo into the melted candy. Turn it upside down inside the bowl to coat all sides evenly. Lift the cookie with a fork and gently shake off excess coating to prevent drips.
- Place and decorate: Set the coated Oreo on the prepared sheet. Immediately adorn it with Halloween sprinkles or candy eyeball decorations while the coating is still wet to ensure they stick well.
- Repeat for all colors: Repeat the melting, dipping, and decorating steps with all remaining candy melt colors until all Oreos are coated and decorated as desired.
- Add black detailing: After the coatings harden, melt the black candy melts. Using a piping bag fitted with a small tip, pipe spooky designs like spider webs or faces on the cookies for a festive touch.
- Store the cookies: Once completely set, store the chocolate covered Halloween Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh and crisp for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Ensure candy melts do not overheat to prevent seizing; melt slowly at medium-low power.
- Use a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Decorate quickly after dipping so decorations adhere before the coating hardens.
- Black candy melt piping adds a professional and spooky decoration finish.
- Store cookies at room temperature, avoid refrigeration to maintain coating texture.
