I’ve had this recipe book marked for quite some time. It’s so simple to make and you can customize it to your tastes or what you have on hand. You could use festive candies from any holiday as well.

I love the bright orange Oreo filling (yes, I realize there is something inherintly wrong with orange Oreo filling, but I’m ok with that).

I was a little unsure about the candy corn since I’m not a huge fan, but they provided a great textural change due to their softness. I also sprinkled some salt onto the candy melts because I love salty and sweet combos. I was worried that this stuff would be way too sweet without it.

Be sure to press your candy and cookie pieces into the top of the candy melt. I didn’t really press mine in and some of them didn’t stick. Either way this stuff is pretty awesome and dissappeared before I knew it.

Ingredients:

~20 halloween Oreos broken into various sized pieces, divided
1 1/2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup candy corn, divided
1 1/2 cups Reese’s Pieces
28 ounces (two bags) white chocolate candy melts

Directions:

Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper. Spread 3/4 of cookies, pretzels, and 3/4 cup of the candy corn onto the waxed paper.

Place candy melts in a microwave safe measuring cup and heat in microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals until completely melted.

Drop melted chocolate immediately over cookie mixture, spreading with an offset spatula to coat evenly. Top with reserved cookies, candy corn and Reese’s Pieces, working quickly before chocolate hardens.

Place into refrigerator until firm. Remove and gently break apart (or use a sharp knife to press into the cookie bark – it will break apart easily) into small pieces for serving. Store in airtight container.

    those look good too. Are homemade butterfingers next? I have a recipe I’m going to try out soon.

    Butterfingers would be tasty, but I’ve got something else coming on Friday…

    OH YUM! I really want to try these but I’m horrible at dipping things too.

    This is exactly what my son’s been asking me to do. You’re making it hard to say no – they look perfect!

    Why do you tempt me so? Milky Ways are my favorites. This is so worth trying 🙂

    I’m so intrigued by the cool whip/chocolate mixture for the filling! These look so yummy and addicting!

    These look so cute and much easier than the milky ways and snickers I made a few months ago. I made mine in muffin wrappers so I didn’t dip them, just layered the chocolate, nougat, caramel, and chocolate! They came out pretty tasty but was a lot of work!

    I just tried these and they didn’t come out as I’d hoped. The chocolate and whipped cream mix was too sticky and wouldn’t harden. Did I do something wrong? Also what if you can’t find kraft caramel?

    Rachael – Sorry to hear they didn’t turn out for you. The center part was a bit sticky while dipping and wasn’t super hard… Any caramel would work for this recipe, I just use the Kraft kind that comes individually wrapped.

    I would put melted chocolate in the pan first, freeze, then the chocolate mixture, then the caramel. Then you can spoon melted chocolate on top. Would this work? (It solves the dipping problem too!)

      That could definitely work… The caramel might ooze out when you gut them though… Let me know how it goes if you try it.

    I hope you are not using Cool Whip which is all trans-fat and high fructose corn syrup. I’m looking for a healthier alternative to the store bought Milky Way. Perhaps a recipe for homemade whip ?

    These were a DISASTER. I wasted my morning and a lot of ingredients. The chocolate mixture was so sticky when cutting into squares. The directions did not state whether to add water to the caramels when melting so I didn’t…the caramels ended up thick and so sticky, I had trouble putting it on the chocolate layer. Dumped the whole mess out since I didn’t want to waste a bag of milk chocolate chips to coat them. I have been baking my entire life (60 +) and never had a recipe go like that.
