How to Make Oreo Witch Hat Cookies
- Prepare Your Workspace: Lay parchment paper on your kitchen counter to create an easy clean-up area for the cookies.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Dip the Oreos: Take one Double Stuffed Oreo and dip one side into the melted chocolate. It’s okay to coat the edges, as this will help hold everything together when you stack the kiss on top.
- Assemble the Witch Hats: Position the dipped Oreo on the parchment paper. Unwrap a Hershey’s Kiss and gently press it into the center of the Oreo.
- Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the Halloween decorations over the edges of the cookie, covering the chocolate for a colorful, festive look.
Let these treats sit for a few minutes on the parchment paper until the chocolate has completely set, and your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
Storing & Reheating
To store your Oreo Witch Hat Cookies, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. If you want to save them for longer, they can be placed in the fridge for about a week. To freeze, simply place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 months. Reheat by letting them sit out at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Keep in mind that the texture might change slightly, but they will still be delicious—just bring the flavor back by warming to room temperature.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Make sure the chocolate isn’t too hot when you dip the Oreos. If it’s bubbling, let it cool for a moment for easier dipping.
- Keep an eye on the melting chocolate to prevent scorching—it should be smooth and creamy, not clumpy or burned.
- Consider using different types of chocolate chips to suit your taste; white chocolate or flavored varieties can add an interesting twist.
- If sprinkles start to fall off after setting, gently press them in with your finger to help them stick.
- This recipe is also great for making ahead. You can prepare the dipped Oreos and sprinkle them the day you plan to serve!
Oreo Witch Hat Cookies bring together a delightful mix of flavors and textures. Easy to make and festive, these cookies are a fantastic way to celebrate Halloween.

Recipe FAQs
Can I use other types of cookies instead of Oreos?
Absolutely! While Double Stuffed Oreos add a unique creaminess, you could use any similar sandwich cookie, such as Vanilla Oreos or even gluten-free alternatives for a twist.
How can I customize the sprinkles?
Feel free to get creative! Use themed sprinkles, chocolate-covered candies, or even edible glitter for a unique Halloween touch that makes your cookies stand out.
Can I make these cookies in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the cookies a day in advance. Just make sure they are stored properly in an airtight container so they stay fresh and delicious for your gathering.
What should I do if the chocolate hardens too quickly?
If your melted chocolate hardens before you finish dipping, simply microwave it again in 10-second bursts until it’s smooth. Stir between each burst to ensure it’s evenly heated.
