Ingredients
  

  • 24 Oreo cookies regular or double-stuffed
  • 1 cup 175g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp 15ml coconut oil or shortening
  • 48 candy eyes 2 per treat
  • ½ cup 100g black candy melts or dark chocolate
  • Black licorice laces or ¼ cup 30g chocolate sprinkles (for whiskers)
  • 48 mini chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolates 2 per treat, for ears
  • 2 tbsp frosting or edible glue
  • Substitution: Use gluten-free sandwich cookies; dark chocolate for candy melts.

Instructions
 

Prep Workspace

  • I line a baking sheet with parchment and set out 48 candy eyes, 48 mini chocolate chips, and licorice or sprinkles for these Halloween Black Cat Oreo Treats.

Melt Chocolate

  • I melt 1 cup chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth for these creepy cookie treats.

Coat Oreos

  • I dip 24 Oreos in melted chocolate, tap off excess, and place on the baking sheet for these magical Halloween desserts.

Add Cat Features

  • I add 2 candy eyes, 2 mini chocolate chips for ears, and licorice or sprinkles for whiskers to each cookie while chocolate is soft for this simple recipe.

Set Treats

  • I refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm for these festive Halloween sweets.

Serve Treats

  • I serve immediately or store for these creepy cookie treats’ spooky fun.

Notes

  • Tips: Work quickly so decorations adhere before the coating sets. If chocolate thickens, rewarm briefly and stir smooth. Use tweezers/toothpicks for precision.
  • Variations: Owls (candy corn beaks; large round candy eyes); Bats (attach Oreo half “wings” to sides); Pumpkin Cats (orange melts base + black cat faces).
  • Common mistakes: Overheating chocolate (seizing), decorating too late (won’t stick), adding too many whiskers (cluttered look).
  • Storage: Airtight container up to 5 days at room temp; chill for a firmer bite. Avoid humidity which makes coating sticky.
  • Allergy/diet swaps: Use gluten-free sandwich cookies for GF; use dark/semi-sweet chocolate instead of candy melts if preferred (finish may be less glossy).
  • Kid activity: Set up a decorating station so each child can design 2–3 unique cats.
