Ingredients
Scale
Oreos
- 1 package (36 count) Oreos
Candy Melts
- 6 oz white candy melts or white chocolate
- 6 oz orange candy melts
- 6 oz chocolate chips or black candy melts
- 6 oz green candy melts
Decorations
- Assorted Halloween sprinkles such as candy eyes, sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to place dipped Oreos as you decorate.
- Melt the candy melts. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the first color of candy melts or chocolate you plan to use. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. It is best to melt and use one color at a time.
- Dip the Oreos. Using a chocolate dipping fork or similar utensil, dip each Oreo into the melted candy melts to coat completely. Flip the Oreo to coat both sides, then lift it out and tap the fork on the bowl’s edge to remove excess coating.
- Place and decorate. Place the coated Oreos onto the prepared baking sheet. Decorate immediately with Halloween sprinkles, candy eyes, or other decorations depending on your desired design.
- Create mummy Oreos. For mummy designs, dip Oreos in white candy melts, press candy eyes onto the surface, then chill to set. After chilling, drizzle additional melted white candy melts over the Oreos to create a layered mummy effect, then chill again until firm.
- Repeat. Continue dipping and decorating all Oreos using the desired colors and decoration themes for a festive assortment.
Notes
- Use candy melting forks or toothpicks for easier dipping and decoration application.
- If candy melts become too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin the consistency.
- Work quickly when decorating so the candy melts don’t harden before adding sprinkles.
- Chill decorated Oreos in the refrigerator to speed up setting time.
- Store finished Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
