How to Make Fun Halloween Oreo Treats
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Put Halloween sprinkles into small bowls so they’re easy to grab.
Place purple, green, and orange candy melts into three separate microwave-safe bowls.
Microwave one bowl at a time in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round, until smooth and fully melted.
Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each Oreo into the melted candy until fully coated. Let the extra drip off, then place it on the baking sheet. Dip 4 Oreos in each color: purple, green, and orange.
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle Halloween sprinkles on top of each Oreo. Get creative with your sprinkles to make each Oreo unique and festive.
Allow the decorated Oreos to sit at room temperature until the candy coating has completely hardened. This can take about 30 minutes to an hour. If you're in a hurry, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the candy coating has set, arrange the Halloween Oreos on a festive plate or store them in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Hint: If the melted candy starts to thicken, pop it back into the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to smooth it out again. This helps make sure your Oreos coat evenly and don’t get clumpy.
Substitutions & Variations
- Use any type of sandwich cookie if you can't find Halloween Oreos.
- Switch up the colors to match other holidays like red and green for Christmas or pink and white for Valentine’s Day.
- Add candy eyes or edible glitter for extra fun decorations.
- Use allergy-friendly candy melts for dairy-free or nut-free versions.
- Let kids decorate their own for a fun activity during parties.
💭Crucial Success Tips
- Make sure your sprinkles are ready before you dip the cookies—once the candy sets, they won’t stick.
- Don’t overheat the candy melts or they’ll get thick and hard to work with.
- Use a cooling rack under parchment for neater decorating and easy cleanup.

How to Store Fun Halloween Oreo Treats
Once the cookies are fully set, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep them away from heat or sunlight to prevent melting. If needed, you can store them in the fridge, but room temp is best to maintain the coating’s texture. Avoid freezing if possible, as the candy may lose its smooth finish.
