Simple Oreo Cookie Frankenstein’s Monster Bites to Make with Kids
Don’t you just love creating Halloween Treats with the kids? We love getting creative and even better if it’s a really quick and simple recipe that older kids can do themselves and help the younger ones if needed. These Frankenstein’s Monster Cookies made with Oreo’s are another of our really easy Halloween Fun Foods to Make with kids.
Oreo Frankenstein Cookies
Using ready-made cookies like Oreo’s is so easy for quick recipes and they turn out so cute. We’ve used them at Christmas to create Snowmen and Reindeer.
But also at Halloween to make some Spooky Little Mummy Cookies that the kids love to share with friends.
Because they are so easy, it’s one of the treats that we make at home for our Trick or Treaters that visit on Halloween Night.
Tips for Making Frankenstein’s Monster Oreo Bites with Kids
If you are finding that your candy-melts are too thick when you melt you have either melted them too much.
Don’t worry though you can add a couple of teaspoons of Trex (Vegetable Shortening) to the melts when warm and this will sort it out.
When you are trying to harden the cookies, you can’t really rush this let them harden in the air and then place in a container with a lid in a cool dark place.
Don’t be tempted to put them in the fridge as you could end up with soggy cookies! Not at all appetising.

Although we try not to use ingredients that we have to order when it comes to holiday baking with kids whether for Halloween or Christmas I like to have some extras. These can be found on Amazon or in your local craft/cake decorating store and you may be able to find them in the supermarket as well.
We love Wilton cake decorating products, so when there is that brand available we do tend to purchase over others. It’s mainly because they are reliable and others aren’t as such in our experience.
