Halloween Oreos are a fun and delicious Halloween treat – just dip Oreos in colorful candy and decorate with sprinkles. This is a great last minute holiday treat – and who doesn’t love chocolate covered Oreos?

Oreo Halloween Cookies

Put a fun halloween twist on Oreos by making these delicious halloween treats. I used classic Oreo cookies and covered them in different colored chocolate to make a few Halloween themed treats with spooky designs!

Ingredients Needed

  • Oreos: You can use any flavor of Oreos
  • Chocolate Candy Melts: I used white candy melts, regular chocolate, green candy melts, and orange candy melts for decoration. I prefer Ghirardelli candy melts for white and milk chocolate. For colors, you’ll need melts from Walmart or the craft store.
  • Color Gel and/or Candy Toppings: for decorations on top.

Chocolate Covered Oreo Tools

While you can just dip the Oreos in chocolate, I find that (especially colored candy melts) they come out clumpy and not clean and pretty. For that reason I suggest using Oreo Molds – these are like cupcake pans but shorter, made for covering Oreos in chocolate. You can buy Oreo Molds on Amazon or Walmart.

How to make Halloween Oreos

  1. Melt candy melts according to package directions. I like doing this in paper dixie bowls for easy clean up (and so the microwave doesn’t burn the chocolate).
  2. Fill the bottom of each cavity of the mold with about 1 tablespoon candy melts. Top with Oreo, then top with more melted candy.
  3. Chill until set.
  4. Once set, remove from molds. Melt additional candy melts in desired colors.
  5. For jack o’ lanterns, use dark chocolate or black candy melts and place in small bag with tip cut off to pipe eyes and mouth. Or you can use a black food writer pen.
  6. For sprinkle decorations, just drizzle the tops with desired colors and sprinkle with desired sprinkles. Chill to harden.

Ingredients

  • 12 Oreos
  • Candy Melts in different colors
  • Sprinkles, gel coloring, candy eyes, or anything for decorating

Instructions 

  • Melt candy melts according to package directions. I like doing this in paper dixie bowls for easy clean up (and so the microwave doesn't burn the chocolate).
  • Fill the bottom of each cavity of the mold with about 1 tablespoon candy melts. Top with Oreo, then top with more melted candy.
  • Chill until set.
  • Once set, remove from molds. Melt additional candy melts in desired colors.
  • For jack o' lanterns, use dark chocolate or black candy melts and place in small bag with tip cut off to pipe eyes and mouth. Or you can use a black food writer pen.
  • For sprinkle decorations, just drizzle the tops with desired colors and sprinkle with desired sprinkles. Chill to harden.

Notes

  • Chocolate candy melts (i.e. Ghirardelli) melt and spread much better – plus they taste so much better.
  • For colors, you can use candy melts from the craft store. These tend to melt thick. If the mixture is too thick, add about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and stir to thin.
  • See my post on how to decorate candy easily for tips on melting.
