EQUIPMENT (PAID LINKS)
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Oreo mold
- Refrigerator
- Small piping bag or plastic sandwich bag
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pumpkin-flavored candy melts or pumpkin-flavored chocolate
- 12 Pumpkin Oreos or regular Oreos if preferred
- 2 tablespoons white candy melts for attaching eyes
- ½ cup red candy melts
- ½ cup orange candy melts
- 24 candy eyes
Instructions
- Melt Pumpkin Chocolate: Place the pumpkin-flavored candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Fill Molds: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each mold cavity—just enough to cover the bottom.
- Add Oreos: Press one Pumpkin Oreo gently into each mold cavity. Then spoon more melted chocolate on top until the Oreo is fully covered.
- Tap to Remove Air Bubbles: Lightly tap the mold on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. This ensures a smooth chocolate finish.
- Chill to Set: Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Remove from Mold: Once set, gently pop the chocolate-covered Oreos out of the mold and place them on a flat surface.
- Attach Eyes: Melt the white candy melts. Use a toothpick or small piping bag to add two small dots on each Oreo, then press a candy eye onto each dot.
- Add Details: Melt the orange candy melts and pipe small triangle beaks under the eyes. Melt the red candy melts and pipe a little squiggle next to each beak for the turkey’s gobbler.
- Set and Serve: Allow decorations to harden completely before serving. Enjoy your adorable Thanksgiving Chocolate Covered Oreos!
