A creepy treat from Jeeny Maltese.
Ingredients
Serves: 10-12
- 300g white or dark chocolate; reserve ½ cup for decorating.
- 12 regular Oreo or any favourite cookies
- 12 candy eyes (or make some with melted chocolate)
Method
- Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper and set aside.
- Melt chocolate gently and slowly in the microwave or over double boiler.
- Place a cookie with a fork into the chocolate, covering the entire cookie. Lift the cookie from the chocolate and allow the excess white chocolate to drip off. Wipe the extra chocolate off the back of the cookie using the edge of the bowl.
- Place the dipped cookie onto the baking tray and add two candy eyes. Continue until all Oreos are dipped and have eyes.
- Microwave any remaining melted chocolate (add more chocolate if necessary) until it is smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a disposable piping bag and twist the top closed.
- Use scissors to snip off the tip of the piping bag so the chocolate is piped in a thin line for the mummy bandages. Make sure your chocolate is not too hot inside the piping bag for better results.
- Pipe lines of chocolate in multiple directions across the top of the cookie, avoiding the eyes.
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Remove the excess chocolate from around the cookies, place on a plate and serve.
