Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1: Melt the candy melts in separate bowls until smooth and ready for dipping.
Step 2: Dip the Oreos into the melted candy, one color at a time, and let any extra coating drip off. Place them on a lined tray so they can set, keeping the colors neat and even.
Step 3: While the coating is still soft, scatter on sprinkles and gently press in candy eyes. Each cookie takes on its own personality, from silly monster faces to playful bursts of Halloween color, before being left to set.
Expert Tips
- Use double-stuffed Oreos for a more dramatic look and better coating coverage.
- If your candy melts are too thick, add ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to thin them.
- Mix and match sprinkles to create a variety of monster personalities.
- For extra flair, drizzle contrasting candy melt colors across the cookies before adding sprinkles.
Variations to Try
- Mummy Oreos: Use white candy melts and drizzle thin lines across the cookie, then add candy eyes.
- Pumpkin Patch Oreos: Dip in orange candy melts and top with a green sprinkle or candy stem.
- Spooky Drizzle: Dip in one color and drizzle with another for striped effects.
- Candy Corn Oreos: Coat each third of the Oreo in orange, yellow, and white for a candy corn look.
