Why You’ll Love These Cookies
These cookies are the ultimate mix of simple and impressive. They start with classic Oreo cookies, then get dressed up with melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow webs. The result is a creepy-cute snack that’s ideal for parties, school events, or just a fun night of baking at home.
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies (or any sandwich cookie)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (for the webs)
- Halloween sprinkles or candy eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo into the melted chocolate, covering both sides. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Make the spider webs: Place mini marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 10–15 seconds until soft. Use a fork or your fingers to stretch the marshmallow strands and drape them over the cookies, creating a web effect.
- Add decorations: While the marshmallow is still sticky, press on candy eyes or sprinkles for extra Halloween flair.
- Let them set: Allow cookies to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
Tips for Success
- Mess-free webs: Lightly coat your fingers with cooking spray before stretching the marshmallows to keep them from sticking.
- Flavor swap: Try white chocolate instead of dark for a ghostly twist.
- Make ahead: These cookies can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
