Halloween Oreo Monster Treats

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

How to make Oreo Halloween Monsters with candy melts, Candy eyes and sprinkles. No Cook or Bake Halloween treats that are not only vegan but take all of 10 minutes to make!

These monsters are so so fun! They are an amazing way to involve children in "Cooking".I also love making these Alien pretzels with kids! They love being involved in the holiday "cooking"

It sounds simple on the face of it but it can get messy! That's why I have a different method of dipping the oreos.

Just dip one side of the oreo into the colored candy melt and decorate!

I tried the dipping them whole but I found it messy. Very..Plus the Oreos get coated from all over with the candy melt making it extraaaa sweet!

As these monsters are essentially for children, i find dipping just one side with hand is enough.

Ingredients to make these Vegan Halloween Treats

Here is what you will need to make these oreo monsters.

  • Oreos
  • Candy Melts
  • Eyes and Sprinkles
  • Coconut Oil- optional

Oreo- You can use any other bite sized cookies too. We just love oreos at home. Plus its always around, which makes making these monster a less of a planned job.

If you prefer something less sugary, then try my Rice Cake Vegan Halloween Treats.

Candy Melts - You get different color of candy melts by Wilton.I have used orange, green and blue. If you don't like candy melts or the messy fingers that come with it, use regular white and milk chocolate.

Candy Eyes- Most candy eyes are great to look at but tolerable at best to taste. I have "tried" teaching my son to leave it out when eating.#truthallert. You can also use chocolate chips or M&Ms instead of candy eyes. They taste way better!

Sprinkles- I like to buy single colour sprinkles especially for Halloween. They go over so many of our treats!

How to make Oreo Monsters for Halloween

It's simple but a messy affair. Especially if you are making them for the first time. Here are a few tips to make this process hasselfree

  1. Gather all the ingredients together first
  2. Line the table/countertop with newspaper or waste paper.
  3. Use Parchment paper or butter paper to keep the colored oreos on
  4. Always refrigerate these halloween oreo treats before you eat them. OR letting those little hands touch them. I have learnt it the hard way!

Okay enough chit chat..Onwards we go!

Step 1: Melt the Candy Melts

You can melt the candy melts in a microwave proof bowl. Do it in 30 second bursts. And between them, give a stir to the candy melt.

You can do the same thing with white or milk chocolate too.

If your candy melt is looking too thick, add ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to it. Do not overdo with the coconut oil otherwise the chocolate will refuse to set.

Step 2: Dip the Oreos in the Candy Melts

I prefer this method over making the Oreo pops. Simply because this is lesser work.

All you do is dip the Oreos into the melted chocolate/ candy bowl or you can also pour a spoonful of melted candy on the Oreo.

You don't need to cover it on both sides. It's messy and an unnecessary amount of candy for the kids.

Step 3: Decorate

Let your or your child's creativity flow here!

  • Add sprinkles to resemble hair or beard
  • Add eyes. Lots or little
  • Use sprinkles to make expressions
  • or just add the eyes and call it a day!

Serving these Halloween monsters

Don't try eating or serving this right after making them. They will be very messy and the color will transfer everywhere!

You could just pile these on a plate and keep it out. Or you could take it up a notch and make a whole platter with different Halloween treats with halloween pretzels and candies

Serving kids- If you are serving kids, give them these monster oreos with cupcake liners or tissues. This makes it easy for them to eat.

Storing & Leftovers

These monsters will last upto 5-6 days in an airtight container or a zip lock bag.

So they can be made in advance.

Tips & Tricks

For a low sugar version - Use dark chocolate as a coating. And skip oreos and use a cracker or a low sugar/paleo/keto cracker instead. You could also make these with mini rice cakes.

Thin Coating for Kids- Keep the candy melt or chocolate coating thin. Especially if you are serving kids. Also keep the candy eyes to a minimum. They are sometimes too hard for little kids.

To do this, add ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to the candy melt.
