Hooray for Friday! Today we’re sharing a sweet treat you can make for Halloween. Here’s how…

Ingredients: Milano cookies, white candy melts, and candy eyes.

Directions:
1. Melt candy melts in the microwave according to directions. Stir until smooth.
2. Scoop into a plastic bag and cut off the corner.
3. Lay Milano cookies on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
4. Take the cookies one at a time and place them on a plate where you will add the candy melts.
5. Pipe candy melts onto a cookie moving side to side until covered. Don’t be afraid to pour the candy melts past the cookie’s edges!
6. Once the cookie is covered, carefully lift it up by holding it from the top and bottom. This will help the candy melts fold over the sides.
7. Lay the cookie back in its place on the cookie sheet.
8. Quickly and carefully press candy eyes into the cookie.
9. Place cookie sheet in fridge until candy melts harden.

Eat and enjoy!

Aren’t they just the cutest little mummies? And they’re SO delicious. Happy Friday, everyone! Hope it’s wonderful.

How is everyone’s first week back at school going? We’re guessing that right about now you might be in need of a sweet treat. You’ve put in a lot of hard work this week! How about some chocolatey cookie pops masquerading as apples?

These delicious treats would make a great gift for your new teachers, or just a gift to yourself after a long hard day. Here’s how we made them…

Ingredients: Oreo cookies, red candy melts, green candy melts, pretzel sticks (broken into 1/2″ pieces), and cake pop sticks.

(The above ingredients contain affiliate links. If purchased, I will receive a commission, but the price stays the same for you!)

You will also need a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and a microwave safe bowl.

Directions:
1. Melt the green candy melts in the microwave according to the package directions.
2. Scoop the green candy melts into a Ziploc bag and cut the tip of the bag.
3. Draw leaves with the green candy melts onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Let cool.
4. Melt red candy melts until smooth.
5. Dip a cake pop stick into the candy melts and insert it into an Oreo. Rest on the cookie sheet with the leaves and place in the fridge for a few minutes to set.
6. Remove from fridge and dip each Oreo into the red candy melts. Use a spoon to spread the candy melts around the cookies to coat.
7. Before the red candy cools, insert a leaf and a pretzel into the top.
8. Rest the completed cookies on the cookie sheet and place in fridge to set.

Go ahead, treat yourself!

Chocolate Covered Oreo Turkeys

Post date November 18, 2014

How about a sweet treat for after Thanksgiving dinner? We grabbed Oreos, pretzels, and some leftover Halloween candy to make these hilarious chocolate turkeys. Keep scrolling to see how you can make them too!

Ingredients: Oreos, pretzels, chocolate (for melting), candy corn, and candy eyes.

Directions:
1. Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. We used a Hershey bar, but you can also use candy melts.
2. Arrange three pretzels on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, with the bases facing each other, leaving 1/4 inch gap between them.
3. Dip an Oreo into the melted chocolate and cover completely. Use a fork to remove the Oreo from the bowl and let the excess chocolate drip off. Sit the chocolate covered Oreo in the center of the three pretzels.
4. Immediately press in two candy eyes and a piece of candy corn.
5. Repeat process on the rest of the cookies and place cookie sheet into the fridge or freezer to set the chocolate.

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Our favorites are the ones with two different sized pupils. They look like they’ve been electrocuted! You can also turn the candy eyes in different directions to make the turkeys look extra goofy.

What fun treats are you making this Thanksgiving? We’d love to hear!
