Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 40 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
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 Work Surface: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or use a smooth reusable silicone baking mat to place the dipped cookies on. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Melt the Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe glass bowl, melt one color of candy melts at 50% power. Stir the melts after every 30 seconds until completely smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat.
- Dip the Oreo Cookies: Using a spoon, carefully drop one Oreo cookie into the melted candy. Flip the cookie upside down inside the bowl to coat all sides thoroughly. Then, use a fork to lift the cookie out of the candy, gently shaking off any excess coating to avoid drips.
- Set the Cookies: Transfer the coated Oreo onto the prepared cookie sheet. Immediately decorate by adding Halloween-themed sprinkles or candy eyeball decorations onto the wet candy coating before it hardens to ensure they adhere properly.
- Repeat with Remaining Colors: Repeat the melting and dipping process with the remaining candy melt colors, coating and decorating the cookies as desired in each color.
- Add Additional Detailing: Once all cookies have been dipped and the coating has hardened, melt the black candy melts and pipe designs onto the cookies using a piping bag fitted with a small tip to add spooky details like spider webs or faces.
- Storage: Store the fully set chocolate covered Halloween Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, maintaining freshness and crispness of the coating.
Notes
- Use a silicone baking mat or wax paper to prevent sticking during the drying process.
- Work with one color of candy melts at a time to avoid mixing colors.
- If candy melts become too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil to make them smoother for dipping.
- Be patient while the coating hardens to avoid smudging decorations.
- These treats are best stored at room temperature to keep the candy melts shiny and crisp.
