Yield: 12 cookies

Equipment

  • Cookie rack
  • Fork
  • 3 Microwave safe bowls

Materials

  • 12 Oreo cookies
  • ¼ cup Purple candy melts
  • ¼ cup Green candy melts
  • ¼ cup Orange candy melts
  • Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  • Place candy melts into three individual microwave-safe bowls, one for each color. Microwave the candy melts for 30 seconds, stirring between intervals until the candy melts have completely melted and smooth.
  • Use a fork 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.
  • 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.
  • Let the decorated Oreos sit at room temperature until the candy is fully set. This usually takes 30 minutes to an hour.
  • After the candy has hardened, the cookies are ready to eat! You can display the Halloween Oreos on a fancy Halloween plate.

Notes

  • Melt, dip, and decorate one color at a time.
  • It is important to add the decorations before the candy starts to solidify so, have them ready to sprinkle or place immediately after dipping.
  • Molten candy melts can burn, so kids must be supervised.
