Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients List:
- 30 oatmeal cookies (raisins omitted for this recipe)
- 1 can (397g) condensed milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (Dutch processed for a darker fudge)
- 30 candy eyes (or you can make them with melted candy melts)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Cookies: Start by using homemade or store-bought oatmeal cookies. If using homemade, skip the raisins.
- Make the Fudge Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the condensed milk and chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Sift in the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly until the fudge is rich and smooth. Let it cool to a piping consistency.
- Assemble the Cookies: Once the fudge is ready, pipe it onto the underside of one oatmeal cookie and then sandwich it with another.
- Decorate: Add candy eyes on top of the cookies for the perfect spooky touch.
Pro Tips Section:
- If you don’t have piping bags, a simple plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off works just as well.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- Swap out the candy eyes for sprinkles or other fun Halloween decorations.
