An Oreo is a classic cookie that everyone loves. But dip it in chocolate, and it becomes an extra special treat.
And these Halloween Chocolate Dipped Oreos are no exception! But, look how fun they are!
Grab your kiddos to help with the decorating and then serve them as a fun dessert, after-school snack, or bring them as a party favor. They look fancy but are very simple.
What is not to love? Fun, festive, spooky treats with a creamy chocolate coating with an Oreo crunch in the middle. Chocolate does make everything better!

Recipe FAQs
They will stay fresh for up to two weeks as long as they are stored properly. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature to help them stay fresh.
Oreos do make a limited edition Halloween Oreo with an orange cream filling. These would be super cute (and yummy!) to use with this recipe. However, plain Oreos are just as delicious!
I prefer to use chocolate candy melts with this recipe. It creates a smooth thin coating which is perfect for dipping the Oreos into and then decorating. I do not recommend melting chocolate chips as they are too thick and go on as smoothly as candy melts.
