Instructions
Prepare Candy Coating:
Place white candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until completely melted.
Transfer some melted chocolate into a tipless bag or squeeze bottle.
Divide the remaining melted chocolate into two bowls for coloring.
Color the Chocolate:
Add oil-based candy color to each bowl of melted chocolate and stir well until you achieve your desired colors.
Transfer the colored coatings into tipless bags or squeeze bottles.
Fill the Mold:
Fill each cavity of the sandwich cookie mold halfway with the melted chocolate.
Tap the mold gently to release any air bubbles.
Place a sandwich cookie into each cavity, pressing it lightly into the chocolate. Ensure not to press the cookie too far down to avoid it showing on top of the mold.
Fill the mold with more chocolate to cover the cookies completely.
Tap the mold again to settle the chocolate and use an offset spatula to remove any excess chocolate from the top.
Chilling:
Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
Removing from Mold:
Once the chocolate is firm and the mold appears cloudy, remove it from the refrigerator.
Invert the mold onto a piece of parchment paper to release the chocolate-covered cookies.
Allow the cookies to come to room temperature before decorating.
Decoration:
Drizzle each chocolate sandwich cookie with a complimentary color of melted candy coating using the prepared tipless bags or squeeze bottles.
Immediately add sprinkles or sugar decorations to the top of each cookie before the chocolate sets.
Serve or Store:
Once decorated, allow the cookies to set completely at room temperature.
Serve and enjoy your Halloween chocolate sandwich cookies, or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
These cookies are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering with their spooky decorations and delicious chocolatey flavor!
