I have a super quick and easy Halloween treat for you today.  It’s so easy that your little one can help you make it, and if you flub up no one is going to know the difference. So quick, that if it’s midnight and you forgot to make something for your kids Halloween party tomorrow, this would be your saving grace. PROMISE!

It’s not midnight, but my son’s Halloween event for school is tomorrow.  With me being sick, I procrastinated.  I am on the other hand a super type A person, and I needed something cute, creative, and yummy.  Something that would wow everyone.  Yes, my friends, I am…THAT mom.

I had seen variations of these treats online for some time now, and they seemed easy enough for me to accomplish, so I dove in head first, no recipe.  That’s right friends, NO RECIPE.

Today I have for you two yummy Halloween treats made with oreos and candy melts.  I made a Monster Oreo Pop and a Mummy Oreo.  They look super complicated but trust me they are not.  I fell in love with how cute the mummy’s were.  And to be completely honest they were supposed to be on sticks as well, but I got lazy.  I loved the idea of monster pops and we used typical Halloween colors.  The purple monsters remind me of the purple people eater. PLEASE TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER!!!!!!!!!!

You will need:

• Parchment Paper
• One or more cookie sheets, the bigger the better. Although make sure it fits in your ice box or freezer. (work with what you got, if not walmart has them for like $4.00)
• A few small microwaveable safe bowls, enough for how many colors of candy you choose
• 1 ziploc bag
• Fork
• Spoon
• Lollipop or popsicle sticks
• Candy melts
  • colored or white
• If you choose to get all white candy melts, get some gel food coloring and crisco or vegetable oil
• Candy Eyes
• Oreos

Monster Oreo Pops

1. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. First you are going to take out however many Oreos you think you will need.
3. Take each Oreo and twist so that the cream side of the Oreo is separated from the other
4. Lay each out on your parchment paper.
5. Take your bowl and add in some candy melts.
6. Put it in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval.
7. Continue to microwave until it is a creamy consistency.
8. If you chose to use white candy melts, you will need to add your food coloring. The more you add the deeper the color will be.
9. While mixing your candy melts will start to seize up and not be creamy anymore.  To fix this you are going to add in some crisco or vegetable oil.  Add in 1-TSP at a time until you get a creamy consistency once again.
10. Take your Lollipop sticks, one at a time, dip into candy melt, then press into cream side of your cookie.
11. Take your spoon and add a tiny dollop on top of the stick, spreading evenly.
12. Take the other side of the cookie and sandwich together.
13. Lay them back on your parchment paper and let sit until it hardens OR, stick entire tray into freeze for about 10-15 minutes.
14. Once the lollipops are hardened, dip your lollipop into your candy melts.
15. Take your spoon and cover the entire cookie with candy melts, scrape off any excess that you feel is not needed.  It is okay if your cookie does not look smooth, it just adds to the monster effect.
16. Lay each lollipop onto parchment paper.  Don’t worry, it will not stick to the parchment paper.
17. Take your candy eyes and place any number of eyes on each lollipop while still soft.
18. Once you have covered all your lollipops, leave them out to set.  If it’s humid like it is where I live, stick them in the freezer or ice box for about 45 minutes or until candy has hardened.

Mummy Oreos

1. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Take your bowl and add in some candy melts.
3. Put it in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval.
4. Continue to microwave until it is a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Take your fork and stick into the Oreo’s center. Or you can you use your fingers for the next step
6. Dip Oreo into candy melt.
7. Take your spoon and cover the entire cookie with candy melts, scrape off any excess that you feel is not needed.  It is okay if your cookie does not look smooth, it just adds to the mummy effect.
8. Lay each cookie onto parchment paper.  Don’t worry, it will not stick to the parchment paper.
9. Take your candy eyes and place any number of eyes on each lollipop while still soft.
10. Scoop some of your left over candy melts into the ziploc, this will become your piping bag.
11. Cut a small hole at the corner of the ziploc bag.
12. Drizzle your candy melts onto the cookies in a zig zag pattern to look like rags of the mummy. Be careful not to cover the eyes completely.
13. When you are finished, wait until candy sets, or if it’s humid like where I live, stick the entire pan into the freezer or refrigerator for 30-45 minutes, or until hardened.

That’s it! Super simple, quick, and easy. For added fun, you could use those new flavored Oreo’s or the traditional orange and black Halloween themed ones.  I would think these would also be super adorable if you used the mini Oreo’s. If I ever try them, I will repost!
