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

  1. Prepare Surface: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or a smooth reusable silicone baking mat to place the dipped cookies on, preventing sticking and easing cleanup.
  2. Melt Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe glass bowl, melt one color of candy melts at 50% power. Stir every 30 seconds until completely smooth and fully melted, taking care to avoid overheating.
  3. Coat Cookies: Using a spoon, carefully drop one Oreo into the melted candy, flip it upside down to coat all sides thoroughly, then lift with a fork, shaking off excess coating to prevent drips.
  4. Decorate Wet Coating: Place the coated Oreo on the prepared sheet and immediately add Halloween sprinkles or candy eyeball decorations onto the wet coating to ensure they stick properly before hardening.
  5. Repeat for All Colors: Repeat melting and dipping with the remaining candy melt colors, coating and decorating cookies in various festive hues.
  6. Add Details: After coatings harden, melt black candy melts and pipe spooky designs like spider webs or faces using a piping bag with a small tip for added Halloween flair.
  7. Store Cookies: Store the decorated, fully set cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to keep them fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • Do not overheat candy melts while melting; stir frequently for smooth consistency.
  • Use a fork to lift cookies to minimize excess coating and prevent dripping.
  • Decorate cookies immediately after dipping for the best adherence of sprinkles and eyeballs.
  • Allow cookies to fully harden before piping black details to avoid smudging.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness for up to two weeks.
