Cookies
- 1 package Halloween Oreos or any sandwich cookie
Candy Melts
- 6 oz chocolate melting wafers
- 6 oz orange candy melting wafers
- 8 oz white candy melting wafers
- 6 oz purple candy melting wafers
Decorations
- Prepare your workspace: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for drying the dipped Oreos.
- Melt the candy wafers: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt each color of candy wafers in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted, about 1 minute per batch.
- Dip the Oreos: Using a spoon, fully coat one Oreo at a time in the melted candy wafers or chocolate. Scoop it out with a fork, gently tapping on the bowl edge to remove excess coating.
- Decorate immediately: Place the coated Oreo onto the prepared cookie sheet and quickly add sprinkles or candy eyes before the coating begins to set, so the decorations stick well.
- Let harden: Allow the dipped Oreos to harden at room temperature for 1 hour before proceeding to decorate further if desired.
- Add detailed designs: Using a piping bag fitted with a small tip, create mummy designs or other spooky details on the hardened Oreos for a festive touch.
Notes
- Only melt up to 6 oz of candy melts at a time to avoid burning or premature thickening; even if increasing the recipe, work in smaller batches.
- Dip and decorate one cookie at a time to ensure sprinkles adhere properly.
- If candy melts begin to thicken or seize, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and heat in 10-second increments while stirring; never add water as it causes seizing.
- To tint white melting wafers, use only gel food coloring — approximately ¼ teaspoon per ¾ cup of wafers, or until desired color is reached.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Oreos can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw completely before serving.
