Cuisine: Halloween
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup black chocolate melts
- 1/2 cup yellow candy melts
- 1/4 cup edible eyes
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will provide a clean surface for your cookies to set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine black chocolate melts with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully submerge each Oreo cookie into the melted black chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage. Gently tap the fork on the bowl's edge to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-coated Oreos onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing some space between each cookie for decorating.
- Melt yellow candy melts in a separate microwave-safe bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil, using the same melting technique as the black chocolate.
- Using a small piping bag or a toothpick, create cat ear shapes and cat eye details with the yellow candy melts on each black-coated Oreo.
- Carefully place edible eyes onto each cookie, positioning them to create a playful cat face expression.
- Allow cookies to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 10 minutes).
- Once completely set, transfer cookies to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Serve and enjoy your spooky Hocus Pocus Oreo Black Cat Cookies at Halloween parties or as a festive treat!
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Magic: Always melt chocolate in short intervals to prevent burning. Stir frequently for smooth, glossy coverage.
- Temperature Matters: Work in a cool room to help your chocolate set faster and maintain a clean, crisp finish.
- Decorating Precision: Use a toothpick for detailed yellow candy melt designs to create precise cat ear and eye details.
- Edible Eye Placement: Position edible eyes slightly off-center to give each cat cookie a unique, playful personality.
- Storage Hack: If you're making these ahead of time, store in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their adorable shape.
- Kid-Friendly Tip: Let children help with decorating for a fun Halloween cooking activity that sparks creativity!
