How to Make Dipped Oreos:
To make dipped Oreos you just need: Oreos, candy melts and toppings to create all of the different Halloween characters. It really doesn’t matter what kinds of Oreos you use, vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter or mint. Single stuffed or double stuffed, the choice is yours. Any variety will do.

Common Asked Questions:
- Why do you use candy melts and not chocolate chips? This recipe uses candy melts because they’re much easier to work with than chocolate chips. Candy melts create a smooth and thin coating. Chocolate chips usually creates a thicker and dull shell. Also chocolate chips won’t smooth out the same way as the candy melts.
- What is the easiest way to melt your candy melts in the microwave?Place the candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 second increments at 50% power. Stir occasionally until the candy is melted. Melting without stirring can cause the candy to burn so be sure to give it a stir every 30 seconds.
- What to do if your melted candy melts are too thick? If your melted candy melts seem thick, you can add 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil. The added oil will help you reach a consistency where the chocolate will give you a slow and steady stream off the spoon. It needs to be thin enough so it can smooth out on the top.
Tips and Tricks for Halloween Oreos:
- Spend a little extra money and use the Ghirardelli Melting Wafers. The quality is superb and it will give you the best results. The wafers melt easily, so easy to work with and they taste the closest to real chocolate.
- Be sure to tap and scrape all the excess chocolate off the bottom of your Oreos before they dry. This will prevent the chocolate from pooling at the bottom of your cookie. Extra chocolate is always a treat, but it can distort the shape you are going for in your Halloween Oreos.
- If your chocolate starts to cool and thicken up while your dipping, just return the bowl to the microwave and heat for another 10-15 seconds.
- Make them ahead! Halloween Oreos can be stored for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. I probably wouldn’t make them more than a week in advance.
