Description

Halloween Black Cat Oreo Treats are no-bake, kid-friendly cookies made by dipping Oreos in melted chocolate and decorating them with candy eyes, “ear” candies, and whiskers. They’re quick to assemble, party-perfect, and a fun hands-on project for little helpers.

Ingredients

Scale

Coating & Cookies:

24 Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for melting)
1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (for smooth melting)
Black candy melts or dark chocolate for coating (optional/alternative)

Decorations:

48 candy eyes (two per cat)
Black licorice laces or chocolate sprinkles (for whiskers)
Mini chocolate chips or small candy-coated chocolates (for ears)
Frosting or edible glue (to attach decorations)

Tools:

Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler (for melting chocolate)
Small spoon or offset spatula
Piping bag or small zip-top bag (optional for details)
Toothpicks or tweezers (precision placement)
Wax or parchment paper; baking sheet

Instructions

Prep workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment and set out candy eyes, mini chips, and other decorations for quick assembly.
Melt coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth (or melt gently over a double boiler).
Dip cookies: Using a fork, dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, tap off excess, and place on the prepared sheet.
Decorate faces: While coating is still soft, add two candy eyes near the top center. Place mini chips at the top edges for ears (points up). Add whiskers with licorice laces or sprinkles; use frosting or edible glue as needed.
Set: Let sit at room temperature or refrigerate 10–15 minutes until the coating firms up.

Notes

Tips: Work quickly so decorations adhere before the coating sets. If chocolate thickens, rewarm briefly and stir smooth. Use tweezers/toothpicks for precision.
Variations: Owls (candy corn beaks; large round candy eyes); Bats (attach Oreo half “wings” to sides); Pumpkin Cats (orange melts base + black cat faces).
Common mistakes: Overheating chocolate (seizing), decorating too late (won’t stick), adding too many whiskers (cluttered look).
Storage: Airtight container up to 5 days at room temp; chill for a firmer bite. Avoid humidity which makes coating sticky.
Allergy/diet swaps: Use gluten-free sandwich cookies for GF; use dark/semi-sweet chocolate instead of candy melts if preferred (finish may be less glossy).
Kid activity: Set up a decorating station so each child can design 2–3 unique cats.
