Ingredients For Chocolate Covered Halloween Oreos
- Oreo cookies (12)
- ¼ cup of candy melts in each of the following colors- green, orange, and purple
- Halloween sprinkles
- Candy eyes
How To Make Chocolate Covered Halloween Oreos
Preparing The Candy Coating
Place candy melts into three individual microwave-safe bowls, one for each color. Microwave the candy melts for 30 seconds, stirring between intervals. Continue this process until the candy melts have completely melted and the candy is smooth. Be careful not to overheat the candy, as it can burn quickly.
Coating the Oreos
Use a fork or fancy dipping tool to dunk each cookie into the candy topping. Make sure the cookies are completely coated. Hold the cookie over the bowl briefly to catch any major drips.
Carefully place the cookies onto a rack to harden. Dip four Oreos in green, four in purple, and four in orange for a nice selection of colors.
Mom Tip: Melt, dip, and decorate one color at a time. It is important to add the decorations before the candy starts to solidify.
Decorating The Chocolate Covered Halloween Oreos
Before the candy sets, shake the Halloween sprinkles over each Oreo. Be generous with your sprinkles! You can also add candy eyes to some cookies. Mix and match to make each Oreo distinct. Kids will love decorating these fun treats.
Setting the Candy Coating
Let the decorated Oreos sit at room temperature until the candy is fully set. This usually takes 30 minutes to an hour. If you need them sooner, pop the cookies into the refrigerator to speed up the hardening process.
Serving
After the candy has hardened, the cookies are ready to eat! You can display them on a fancy Halloween plate. Still, they probably won’t last long enough for that! If you’re not serving them immediately, keep them fresh in an airtight container until ready.
These treats are perfect for Halloween parties, school events, or as a fun snack at home.

Helpful Tips for Making Chocolate Covered Halloween Oreos
- Gather All Supplies Before Starting: Have all your ingredients and tools ready. This includes Oreos, candy melts or chocolate, sprinkles, candy eyes, and any other decorations you want to use. Preparing everything in advance will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Use a Fork for Dipping: When dipping the Oreos in melted chocolate, use a fork or a dipping tool to save your fingers. Melted candy melts are hot.
- Work Quickly with the Candy Melts: Candy melts can harden quickly, so it’s important to decorate the Oreos while the coating is still wet. Have your decorations ready to sprinkle or place immediately after dipping.
- Supervise Children: Molten candy melts can burn, so kids must be supervised. Older children can probably do the dipping, but use your common sense. Younger ones can help with the sprinkles.
- Get Creative with Decorations: Don’t be afraid to use other colors. No rule says these treats must be green, purple, or orange.
- Have Fun: The most important tip is to have fun! Enjoy the time spent with your kids creating these spooky treats and making memories together.
