Instructions

Witch's Hats: Divide frosting into two bowls. Dye one bowl green and the other orange. Transfer each colored frosting to separate resealable plastic bags. Remove air, seal, and snip off a corner. Pipe a generous dollop of frosting in the middle of each Oreo cookie. Gently press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the frosting. Optionally, add sprinkles around the frosting base.
Witch's Brooms: Turn Reese’s Cups upside down. Push a pretzel stick into the center of each cup. Pull apart Twizzlers and cut each strand into thirds. Wrap one piece around the pretzel where it meets the Reese's cup, secure, and trim the excess.
Bat Bites: Unwrap each Reese’s Cup. Separate Oreo cookies and scrape off the cream. Break each Oreo in half to form bat wings (be patient here; a lot will break!) Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in bursts of 25 seconds, stirring between each burst until melted and smooth. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag, snip off a corner, and pipe small dots on the Reese’s for the bat wings. Attach one Oreo half to each side of the Reese’s Cup to resemble wings. Pipe a small amount of chocolate below the wings and secure candy eyeballs to the Reese’s Cup.
Monster Eyes: Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange pretzels on the sheet and place an unwrapped Rolo on each. Bake for 2–4 minutes, or until the chocolates are soft but not melted. Immediately after removing from the oven, press M&M’s and large edible eyeballs into the Rolos. Let candies set at room temperature or in the fridge for about an hour or until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

Oreo THINS cookies: Stick to the THIN Oreos; their thicker counterparts are a bit too heavy for the Reese’s cups.

Reese's Miniature Cups: A quick tip: Chill these in the fridge prior to use to keep them firm and prevent melting or smudging during assembly.

Edible candy eyeballs: Size matters. Aim for miniature eyes for bats and the larger variety for monster eyeballs. This assorted size pack is perfect when making multiple of these easy Halloween Treats!
