Halloween Oreos
These adorable and delicious Halloween Oreos are so much fun to decorate! They’re a totally sweet Halloween treat!
I’ve totally been on a roll with the Halloween projects lately, and I’m so excited to share these Halloween Oreos with you! A few years ago, I started dipping Oreos and other treats in chocolate to share with friends and family at Christmas, but this is the first year that I’ve tried Halloween designs. They turned out so incredibly cute, and I think they will be perfect to share with friends (if we don’t just eat them all ourselves). The best part is that they’re super easy to make! I made all four varieties in about an hour and a half (and spent part of that time breaking up fights between my naughty children). They’re so fun, and so easy to customize in any way you can imagine!
It’s hard for me to pick a favorite, but I think these Frankenstein’s monster Oreos might be it. I love their goofy little faces! I will confess that I wish I had gone the extra mile and picked up some pretzel sticks at the grocery store, instead of chopping up the pretzel twists I already had in the house like the lazy person I am. They’re still super cute, though!
Frankenstein’s Monster Oreos
Print RecipeIngredients
- 8 Oreo cookies
- 6 ounces vibrant green candy melts
- 16 small candy eyeballs
- dark brown sprinkles
- black sparkle gel
- 8 small pretzel sticks broken in half
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Melt the candy melts in a microwave safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every thirty seconds, until completely melted. Dip the Oreos in the candy using a fork, coating them completely, then tap the fork on the side of the bowl a few times to shake off the excess candy. Gently place the Oreos on the prepared baking sheet. Place two eyes on each Oreo, sprinkle brown sprinkles on top for the hair, and place a pretzel piece on each side for the neck bolts. Let cool and harden, then draw a mouth with the sparkle gel.
These jack o’ lanterns were my daughter Abby’s favorite, mostly because of their silly little faces. I made the stems from the rest of the pretzel pieces that I had chopped up while making the Frankenstein’s monster Oreos, and used the already melted green candy melts from those as well, so they were pretty straightforward and easy.

Dip the pretzel pieces in the green candy and stick to the top of the pumpkins. Drizzle the remaining green candy melts on top of the pumpkins to look like vines. Let cool and harden completely, then draw a face on each pumpkin using the sparkle gel.
These cute little cats were definitely the most challenging to make, mostly because they required the most precision. I saw these cuties on 30 Handmade Days a few weeks ago, and couldn’t wait to try them! My husband and my daughter Lizzy loved these ones the best, and I can see why. They are so darling!

Lastly, these mummies are pretty tough contenders for my favorites, mainly because they were so easy to make. They definitely took me the least time of the bunch, and I still think they are incredibly adorable and so fun!

You need to post a video. It did not work out for me. Candy melts were too thick to “dip” into. Had to slather it on (super messy and not smooth as pictured). Ruined one batch my trying to melt it more…. burnt it. Fail.
