Halloween mummified Oreo biscuits recipe
- 10 Oreo biscuits
- 300g white chocolate
- Wilton Candy Eyeballs OR
- Queen Writing Icing 5 pk AND
- Dr Oetker Ready Rolled Icing White
Method
- Preparation is key – set yourself up a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper to put your chocolate covered Oreos on and have your candy eyeballs close by. If you are making the eyeballs yourself, cut 10 pea-sized pieces of rolled white icing. Gently roll each piece into a ball – the warmth of your skin will soften the icing so work quickly here.
- Break up the chocolate and place it in a glass heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate in 30-second bursts in the microwave on the high setting, stirring between each burst. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a double boiler on the stovetop. Keep an eye on it and stir, stir, stir or it will seize!
- Using a skewer, fork or spoon, carefully dip one Oreo biscuit at a time, turning it side to side. Transfer to the tray and place a pair of eyes onto it straight away so they stick.
- If making the eyeballs yourself, dab a dot of the melted white chocolate onto the icing ball and secure to the Oreo biscuit. Using the black writing icing pen, add a dot of black to each ball to create the eyeball’s pupil.
- Repeat for all Oreos. Let them set.
- Using a small snap-lock bag, fill it with the leftover, semi-cooled, melted chocolate and snip the corner of the bag off (just a little). Squeeze ribbons of chocolate over the top of the Oreos, being careful to not go over the eyes completely.
- Let the biscuits set and carefully peel off the baking paper and you’re done. So cute, I mean scary. Boo!
