Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bag (orange candy melts)
  • 15 yellow candy melts
  • 12 OREO sandwich cookies
  • 12 M&M candies (separated so you just have green M&Ms)

Instruction

  • Line a baking sheet or cutting board with wax paper.
  • Place half a bag of candy melts into a microwave safe dish and heat on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. This step is critical, to stir, because the melts can quickly burn. You may find your microwave only requires 1:30 to melt the candy.
  • Dip one oreo at a time into the orange candy, coating the back side and flipping the cookie over to coat the other side. I find a fork works best for this task.
  • Lift the oreo cookie out of the candy melts and tap the excess, on the side of the bowl and place onto the prepared surface.
  • Add a green candy at the top of the oreo for the stem. Repeat until you have the desired number of oreos.
  • Let set to harden completely. I like to work with half a bag of candy melts at a time so they don't  harden too quickly on me.
  • Place 10 yellow candy melts into a sealable sandwich bag, but don't seal. Microwave on high for 10 seconds. Knead the candy until melted, returning it to the microwave in 5 second increments if necessary. Make sure you knead all the lumps out of it, making sure the candy is completely melted.
  • Snip the tip of the bag so you have a small opening. Pipe a jack-o-lantern face onto the cookies and let set to dry completely.
