Description
Halloween Oreos are festive treats made by coating classic Oreos in colorful candy melts and decorating them with sprinkles, candy eyes, and other fun toppings, perfect for Halloween parties and celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
Oreos
- 12 Oreos
Candy Coating
- Assorted candy melts in different colors (approximately 1 cup)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil (to thin candy melts if needed)
Decorations
- Sprinkles, gel coloring, candy eyes, or any preferred decorating items
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions. Using paper dixie bowls makes cleanup easy and helps prevent burning the chocolate in the microwave.
- Assemble Oreo Treats: Fill the bottom of each cavity of your mold with about 1 tablespoon of melted candy. Place one Oreo on top, then cover the Oreo with more melted candy melt to fully coat it.
- Chill to Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill until the candy melts are fully set and firm.
- Remove from Mold & Melt Additional Candy: Once set, carefully remove the coated Oreos from the molds. Melt additional candy melts in your desired colors for decorating.
- Decorate: For jack-o’-lantern faces, use dark chocolate or black candy melts in a small bag with the tip cut off to pipe eyes and mouth, or use a black food writer pen. For other decorations, drizzle different colored candy melts over the top and sprinkle with sprinkles or candy eyes. Chill again to harden the decorations.
Notes
- Chocolate candy melts, like Ghirardelli, melt and spread better and have superior taste compared to standard craft store candy melts.
- If using thicker craft store candy melts, add about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted candy and stir to thin the consistency for easier coating and drizzle.
- Use paper dixie bowls for melting candy melts to simplify cleanup and to avoid overheating in the microwave.
- See additional posts or tutorials on candy decorating for tips on melting and decorating techniques.
