Ingredients You’ll Need

• Oreo cookies – Regular Oreo cookies work best for creating Jack Skellington’s face.
• White candy melts – Melted white candy melts create the base coating and give these cookies Jack Skellington’s signature pale appearance.
• Black candy melts – Used to pipe Jack’s eyes, nose, and stitched smile. Transfer the melted candy to a piping bag or zip-top bag for precise decorating.

Optional Supplies

• Piping bag or zip-top bag for decorating
• Parchment paper for easy cleanup
• Fork or dipping tool for coating the Oreos

How to Make Jack Skellington Oreos

Step 1 – Melt the White Candy Melts. Place the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power on defrost mode for 2 minutes. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals on defrost mode, stirring between each interval, until the candy melts are completely smooth and melted.

Step 2 – Coat the Oreos. Dip each Oreo into the melted white candy melts until fully coated. Lift the cookie out with a fork and gently tap off any excess coating. Place the coated Oreos on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or plate.

Step 3 – Let the Oreos Dry. Allow the white candy coating to dry completely before moving on to the next step. The coating should be firm to the touch so the black candy melts don’t smear during decorating.

Step 4 – Melt the Black Candy Melts. Place the black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power on defrost mode for 2 minutes. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals on defrost mode, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted. Transfer the melted candy melts to a piping bag and snip a small opening at the tip.

Step 5 – Draw Jack Skellington’s Face. Pipe Jack Skellington’s face onto each Oreo using the melted black candy melts. Draw two large oval eyes, add two small nostrils, and finish with his signature stitched smile.

Step 6 – Serve and Enjoy. Allow the decorated Oreos to dry completely until the black candy melts have hardened. Once set, they’re ready to serve and enjoy.

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

• These Jack Skellington Oreos can be made up to 3 days in advance, making them perfect for Halloween parties and gatherings.
• Store the Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature once the candy coating has completely hardened.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent the candy melts from softening.
• If stacking the Oreos, place parchment paper between layers to protect the decorations.
• For the best taste and texture, enjoy within 5 days.
• To freeze, place the Oreos in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Allow frozen Oreos to come to room temperature before serving.
