These Fall Oreos are a chocolate mold treat that looks like it took serious effort and actually takes about 20 minutes. Oreos pressed into a milk chocolate shell, frozen until firm, then decorated with an orange candy melt drizzle and fall leaf sprinkles on top. The result is a thick, smooth chocolate-covered Oreo with a festive seasonal finish, and the mold does all the shaping work so every one comes out clean and uniform.
One batch makes 6 and takes about 20 minutes of active time plus 10 minutes in the freezer. These are great for a fall dessert board, Halloween treat bags, a classroom treat, or just having something festive and chocolate-covered to set out when people come over in October. They scale easily - the mold and the ingredient ratios multiply cleanly for bigger batches. The Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers are specifically what makes these work - the melt is smoother and the flavor is noticeably better than standard chocolate chips. Worth seeking out.
Work quickly when adding the fall sprinkles - the orange candy melt drizzle sets fast, and sprinkles that go on even 30 seconds late won't adhere. This is the one step where you really need to move with purpose.

Ingredients
- Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers
- Oreo cookies
- Orange candy melts
- Fall sprinkles
- Oreo chocolate mold
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Step one: Melt chocolate melting wafers on defrost mode in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir. Continue melting for another 1.5 minutes and stir until completely smooth. Use the defrost setting - it melts the chocolate more gently and reduces the chance of scorching.
Step two: Add a layer of melted chocolate to the bottom of each mold cavity. Press one Oreo cookie into each cavity. Cover with additional chocolate to fill the mold flush to the top. Tap the mold gently on the counter to settle the chocolate and release any air bubbles. Freeze for 10 minutes until firm.
Step three: Remove the chocolate-covered Oreos from the mold.
Step four: Heat orange candy melts as directed and transfer to a piping bag. Snip the end and drizzle over the top of each chocolate Oreo. Immediately add fall sprinkles before the orange drizzle sets.
Hint: Add sprinkles the instant you finish drizzling - the orange candy melt sets quickly and if you wait even 30 seconds the sprinkles won't stick.
Recipe Tips for Success
- Use the defrost setting on your microwave, not full power - it gives you a controlled melt without scorching the chocolate. • Fill the bottom layer of the mold generously so the Oreo is completely buried. A thin bottom layer will crack when you pop the finished Oreo out.
- Tap the mold on the counter after filling to release air bubbles - this gives you a smooth, clean chocolate surface on the finished product.
- Work on one or two at a time when adding the orange drizzle and sprinkles - don't drizzle all of them at once before adding sprinkles, or the drizzle will set before you get to the end.
Storage
Store in an airtight container. Best consumed within a few days. Use the defrost microwave setting to prevent scorching. Add sprinkles immediately after drizzling - the orange candy melt sets fast.
