Halloween Oreos are a fun and delicious Halloween treat – just dip Oreos in colorful candy and decorate with sprinkles. This is a great last minute holiday treat – and who doesn’t love chocolate covered Oreos?
Oreo Halloween Cookies
Put a fun halloween twist on Oreos by making these delicious halloween treats. I used classic Oreo cookies and covered them in different colored chocolate to make a few Halloween themed treats with spooky designs!
Ingredients Needed
- Oreos: You can use any flavor of Oreos
- Chocolate Candy Melts: I used white candy melts, regular chocolate, green candy melts, and orange candy melts for decoration. I prefer Ghirardelli candy melts for white and milk chocolate. For colors, you’ll need melts from Walmart or the craft store.
- Color Gel and/or Candy Toppings: for decorations on top.
Chocolate Covered Oreo Tools
While you can just dip the Oreos in chocolate, I find that (especially colored candy melts) they come out clumpy and not clean and pretty. For that reason I suggest using Oreo Molds – these are like cupcake pans but shorter, made for covering Oreos in chocolate. You can buy Oreo Molds on Amazon or Walmart.
How to make Halloween Oreos
- Melt candy melts according to package directions. I like doing this in paper dixie bowls for easy clean up (and so the microwave doesn’t burn the chocolate).
- Fill the bottom of each cavity of the mold with about 1 tablespoon candy melts. Top with Oreo, then top with more melted candy.
- Chill until set.
- Once set, remove from molds. Melt additional candy melts in desired colors.
- For jack o’ lanterns, use dark chocolate or black candy melts and place in small bag with tip cut off to pipe eyes and mouth. Or you can use a black food writer pen.
- For sprinkle decorations, just drizzle the tops with desired colors and sprinkle with desired sprinkles. Chill to harden.
Expert Tips
- Different kinds of decorations you can do are jack-o lanterns, pumpkins, eyeballs, or just fun decor!
- Chocolate candy melts (i.e. Ghirardelli) melt and spread much better – plus they taste so much better.
- For chocolate dipping tips be sure to read that post – I teach you how to do it without crying (and without ruining your chocolate).
FAQs

Recipe Notes
- Chocolate candy melts (i.e. Ghirardelli) melt and spread much better – plus they taste so much better.
- For colors, you can use candy melts from the craft store. These tend to melt thick. If the mixture is too thick, add about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and stir to thin.
