Variation Ideas:

• Use Chocolate Chips – You can use white chocolate chips and food coloring instead of candy melts if you prefer. Dark chocolate chips will also work, the color maybe not as bright.
• Change Oreos – We used traditional Oreo cookies but any type will work. If you have a favorite, feel free to use them. They even have holiday ones during Halloween.
• More fun ideas – Use sprinkles and candy eyeballs to decorate the Oreo cookies. The kids love to use candy eyes or candy eye ball.
• Halloween Sprinkles – Skip the faces and just use Halloween sprinkles.
• Change for the Holidays – Feel free to change to make for different holidays. You may like this Chocolate Covered Christmas Oreos.

Step by Step Instructions:

• Step 1 – Prepare the baking sheet or cutting board and line it with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Step 2 – Put half a bag of candy melts into a bowl that is microwave safe. Heat this on high for 2 minutes but stir every 30 seconds.

• Step 3 – Keep doing this until it is melted. It is important to stir in intervals so the candy melts don’t burn. Microwave times vary so you may not need the entire 2 minutes.
• Step 4 – Once melted, dip an Oreo in the orange candy. Make sure to do this one cookie at a time.

• Step 5 – Be careful that you coat the entire cookie getting the front and back. Just flip the cookie over to coat the other side in chocolate. I use a fork to do this and it makes it really easy.

• Step 6 – Once coated, remove the oreo cookie from the candy melts. Remove any excess by tapping the cookie on the side of the bowl.

• Step 7 – Put the cookie on the wax paper. Put a green candy at the top of the Oreo for the stem.
• Step 8 – Keep repeating until you have finished all of the cookies. Let the cookies harden completely before decorating.

• Step 9 – The last step is to make the face. Add 10 yellow candy melts into a ziplock bag but don’t seal it. Microwave this for 10 seconds.
• Step 10 – Knead the candy until melted and put back in the microwave if needed. I would do this in 5 second intervals.
• Step 11 – When it is completely melted, make sure you knead all the lumps out of it. It needs to be smooth to easily decorate the cookies.
• Step 12 – Now just use scissors to snip the tip of the bag. You just want a small opening. Use this to pipe a jack-o-lantern face on each of the cookies.

• Step 13 – Allow this to set completely before storing.

Jack O Lantern Oreos Recipe Tips:

• Colored Candy Melts – I use candy melts to make this recipe even simpler. Wiltons works great and you can purchase the color you need. Your local craft store should have an assortment of colors.
• M&M’s – We bake a lot so I normally buy the party size bag of M&M’s. Feel free to also use green candy melts.
• Piping Bag – You can decorate the chocolate covered Oreos with a piping bag or a zip lock bag.
• Dipping Oreos – When dipping the Oreos, make sure to completely cover them. Remove excessive chocolate before placing on baking sheet.
