These Oreo pumpkin treats are made by dipping cookies in orange candy melts, topping with a green M&M stem, and piping jack-o-lantern faces with yellow candy melts. They're perfect for Halloween parties or trick-or-treat bags and are easy to make in batches.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place a sheet of wax paper on a baking sheet or cutting board.
- Put half the bag of orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth, but be careful because the candy can burn easily. Depending on your microwave, it might only need 1 minute 30 seconds.
- Take one Oreo at a time and submerge it in the melted orange candy. First coat the bottom, then flip it over to cover the top. Using a fork makes this easier.
- Use the fork to lift the Oreo out of the candy, gently tap it against the bowl's rim to remove extra coating, then set it on the wax paper.
- Place one green M&M on top of each Oreo as the stem. Continue until all cookies are done.
- Allow the candies to harden fully. It's best to work with half the bag of melts at once so the candy doesn't set before you finish.
- Put 10 yellow candy melts in a resealable sandwich bag (leave it open). Microwave on high for 10 seconds. Press and squeeze the bag to melt the candy, putting it back in for 5-second bursts if needed. Keep kneading until the candy is fully smooth with no lumps.
- Cut a small corner off the bag to create a piping tip. Use it to draw jack-o-lantern faces on the cookies, then let them dry completely.
