Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 Oreos
- Candy melts in different colors
- Sprinkles, gel coloring, candy eyes, or anything for decorating
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Melt the candy melts according to package directions, preferably using paper dixie bowls to avoid burning the chocolate in the microwave and for an easy cleanup.
- Fill Mold Cavity: Fill the bottom of each cavity of your mold with about 1 tablespoon of melted candy.
- Add Oreos: Place one Oreo on top of the melted candy in each cavity, then cover with more melted candy to fully encase the cookie.
- Chill to Set: Place the mold in the refrigerator and chill until the candy is fully set, about 1 hour.
- Remove from Mold and Decorate: Carefully remove the set Oreo candies from the molds. Melt additional candy melts in desired colors for decoration.
- Create Jack o’ Lantern Faces: Use dark chocolate or black candy melts, place in a small piping bag with the tip cut off, and pipe eyes and mouth shapes onto the treats; alternatively, use a black food writer pen.
- Apply Sprinkle Decorations: Drizzle the tops with various colored melted candy and immediately sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles before chilling again to harden the decorations.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate candy melts like Ghirardelli for better taste and smoother spreading.
- If candy melts from craft stores are too thick, add about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and stir to thin the mixture.
- Refer to tutorials on candy decorating for tips on melting and handling candy melts effectively.
