Ingredients

  • 8 Oreo cookies: Regular Oreos work well but you can experiment with other varieties.
  • 12 ounces purple candy melts: These give the cookies their bright purple monster coating.
  • 8 large candy eyes: We used PME Pretty Eyes candy decorations with eyelashes.
  • 3 tablespoons monster sprinkles: We used PME Little Monster sprinkles which include colorful shapes and smaller candy eyes.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area

  1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
  2. Set out your Oreo cookies, candy eyes, and sprinkles so everything is within easy reach.

Step 2: Melt the Candy Coating

  1. Place the purple candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave using the defrost or low-power setting for 2 minutes, then stir.
  3. Continue heating in 1-minute intervals on the defrost setting, stirring between intervals, until the candy melts are smooth.
  4. Stop heating as soon as the coating is fully melted. If your microwave runs hot, use shorter intervals to prevent overheating.

Step 3: Dip the Oreos

  1. Dip each Oreo cookie into the melted purple candy coating, turning it to cover both sides.
  2. Lift the cookie out with a fork or dipping tool, allowing the excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
  3. Place the coated cookie onto the prepared parchment paper.
  4. Repeat with the remaining Oreos.

Step 4: Add the Monster Eyes

  1. While the candy coating is still wet, place one large candy eye near the center of each Oreo.
  2. Press gently so it stays in place.

Step 5: Give Your Monsters Some Hair

  1. Sprinkle the colorful monster sprinkles across the top portion of each cookie, above the large candy eye.
  2. Let some of the sprinkles overlap and stick out around the edges to create messy monster hair.
  3. If your sprinkle mix contains smaller candy eyes, you can add a few of those for extra personality.

Step 6: Let the Coating Set

  1. Leave the decorated Oreos on the parchment paper until the candy coating has completely hardened.
  2. Once set, they're ready to serve!
