Halloween Chocolate Covered Oreos combine candy with everyone’s favorite cookie! Oreos are dipped in melted chocolate and covered in Halloween sprinkles, candy eyeballs, and chocolate swirls. 

Ingredients  


Instructions

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir again. By this point, your chocolate should be smooth and ready to dip.
  • Dip the Oreos one at a time into the chocolate, flipping it over to coat the entire Oreo evenly. Use a fork to remove the Oreo from the chocolate and tap the fork lightly on the edge of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Place the chocolate covered Oreo on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a baking rack— this will keep it from sticking once the chocolate has cooled.
  • Decorate the Oreo with candy eyes or sprinkles, or a drizzle of white or orange chocolate. Make sure to add any decorations before the chocolate has hardened or they won’t stick.
  • Repeat with 9 additional Oreos.
  • Repeat the same melting process for the remaining two candy melts. Place the finished Oreos in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 20 minutes. This will help set the chocolate.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • You can substitute white chocolate for the candy wafers in this recipe, although white chocolate is difficult to melt and can burn easily. Candy wafers are highly recommended.
  • Because the candy wafers harden so quickly, I recommended working with only one color of the chocolate at a time.
  • You can substitute any color of melting wafer you have— green and purple would also be great for Halloween!
  • If you don’t have colored melting wafers, add 1/4 teaspoon of gel food coloring for every 3/4 cup of wafers. It is important to use gel food coloring as the liquid can change the consistency of the melting wafers.
  • You must use vegetable shortening in this recipe. Vegetable oil and/or butter are not recommended substitutions.
  • Lastly, the exact sprinkles you use is completely up to you. I find that a mix of black, orange, white, and purple give a real Halloween look! You can also usually find pumpkins, ghosts, and witch hats at craft stores.
