Calories: 131kcal
Ingredients
- 18 Oreos chocolate or golden
- 8 ounces white melting chocolate I used two 4-ounce white chocolate baking bars
- Orange food coloring
- 18 mellowcreme pumpkin candies
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Take 2-3 Oreos and remove the cream from between the cookies. On a plate or in a ziptop bag, crush the cookies until it’s a powder, place in a bowl.
- In a small microwaveable bowl, melt the 8 ounces of chocolate (if using a baking bar, break into small pieces). Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 15 second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Be sure not to overheat the chocolate.
- Once the white chocolate is completely melted, add the orange food coloring. Add a few drops at a time and stir until the desired color is reached.
- Take one chocolate or golden Oreo cookie at a time and submerge it into the orange-colored chocolate. If it’s not deep enough to submerge, place one side of the cookie in the chocolate, then flip it over so that both sides are covered. Remove the chocolate covered cookie by scooping it up with a fork. Gently shake the cookie back and forth to remove excess chocolate and to get a smooth surface.
- Place the cookie onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs on top.
- Then add the pumpkin candy in the middle.
- Place cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened and serve.
Notes
- Make sure you don't overheat the chocolate, see my prevention tips on that above.
- Feel free to use a double boiler if you don't want to microwave the chocolate or have to worry about it hardening again.
- You can swap the white chocolate out if needed, see my tips above.
- DO NOT use liquid food coloring in melted chocolate, only gel. Using liquid food coloring will make the chocolate more likely to seize.
- If you want to cool and harden the cookies at room temp, you can, it just takes a while, like 40-50 minutes.
- Always store these in an airtight container so they don't dry out.
- Depending on what shade of orange you want, you will most likely need to adjust the amount of food coloring. Add as much as needed to reach your desired shade of orange.
- If the chocolate starts to thicken and becomes too thick to dip, put it back in the microwave for another 5-10 second interval so you can melt it again before stirring it back up.
