Halloween Oreo Treats
Servings: 12 Oreo treats
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cool Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies
- ¼ cup Purple candy melts
- ¼ cup Green candy melts
- ¼ cup Orange candy melts
- Halloween sprinkles (e.g., bats, pumpkins, ghosts, and other spooky shapes)
- Candy eyes
Instructions
Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Separate the Halloween sprinkles into small bowls for easy access.
Melting the Candy: In three separate microwave-safe bowls, place the purple, green, and orange candy melts.
Microwave each bowl one at a time, in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the candy melts are fully melted and smooth.
Dipping the Oreos: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo cookie into the melted candy until fully coated. Allow the excess candy to drip off before placing the cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
Dip 4 Oreos in purple, 4 in green, and 4 in orange candy melts for a colorful variety.
Decorating: While the candy coating is still wet, generously sprinkle the Halloween sprinkles over the top of each Oreo.
Get creative with your sprinkles to make each Oreo unique and festive.
Setting the Candy: Allow the decorated Oreos to sit at room temperature until the candy coating has completely hardened. This can take about 30 minutes to an hour. If you’re in a hurry, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Serving: Once the candy coating has set, arrange the Halloween Oreos on a festive plate or store them in an airtight container until ready to serve.
