Find OREO, RITZ, NutterButter and Chips Ahoy! cookies at your local Walmart or use Walmart Online Grocery Pickup and Delivery for all of your Halloween needs. We used the super convenient Walmart Online Grocery Pickup for all of our ingredients and candy supplies. 

They have everything from food, and costumes to candy like Sour Patch Kids and Halloween OREO candy bars–so delish! 

My kids always enjoy cookies/crackers from Chips Ahoy!, RITZ, NutterButter, and OREO in their lunch boxes, so we always are sure to be stocked up. I love the traditional flavors but can always appreciate seasonal faves like the Halloween OREO cookies.

I mean, these brands are iconic because even 30 years ago, I was enjoying them for after school snacks. They also make the BEST cookies/crackers to dip in chocolate for Halloween festivities. 

We had a BLAST making these creepy, but cute concoctions with the kids this past weekend. I loved that I didn’t have to do any baking and pretty much could use my microwave for the melting. 

NutterButter Ghosts

To make these simply spooky ghost cookies, you will need a few easy to find ingredient items from Walmart or Walmart Online Grocery Pickup and Delivery:

• NutterButter Cookies
• 12 ounces white chocolate morsels
• Donuts if adding cookies to these. *optional
• 3 ounces of chocolate if adding cookies to donuts *optional
• Black candies for eyes
• Black food gel
• Baking rack
• Spoon
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler

Make

1. Add white chocolate morsels to a double boiler, or microwave-safe bowl. Heat chocolate at 50% power in 20 second intervals; stir in between each. Chocolate should be smooth and creamy once ready.
2. Dip NutterButter cookies (individually) into the melted white chocolate and remove excess chocolate with the back of a spoon.
3. Place dipped cookie on your baking rack and repeat the process until all cookies have been dipped.
4. Adhere the tiny black candies for the eyes on each cookie.
5. Using black food gel, carefully pipe on an oval mouth; repeat.
6. Allow chocolate to harden in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
7. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days for best taste.
8. If you are adding these ghosts to donuts, add a tiny bit of melted chocolate to the back of the ghost cookies to stick it to the donut. If you do this method, you will need an extra 3 ounces of chocolate morsels which you will need to melt after the cookies have hardened.

Black Cat OREOS

To make these magical kitty cookies, you will need the following ingredients from Walmart or Walmart Online Grocery Pickup and Delivery:

• Halloween OREO Cookies
• Dark chocolate morsels or chunks
• Halloween sprinkles
• Black Cat Icing decorations

Make

1. Add dark chocolate morsels to a double boiler, or microwave-safe bowl. Heat chocolate at 50% power in 20 second intervals; stir in between each. Chocolate should be smooth and creamy once ready.
2. Dip OREO Cookies individually into the melted dark chocolate morsels and remove excess chocolate with the back of a spoon.
3. Place dipped cookies on your baking rack and repeat the process until all cookies have been dipped.
4. Adhere the black cat decor, and then the Halloween sprinkles to each.
5. If you are using other edible decorations, be sure to adhere them before the chocolate hardens. Chocolate takes longer than candy melts to harden. If you melt candy wafers, you will need to decorate each right away before the candy hardens.
6. Allow chocolate to harden in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
7. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days for best taste.

2. Once creamy, using your spatula, spread the melted chocolate onto your parchment paper lined small baking sheet.
3. After chocolate is spread, add broken Chips Ahoy! cookies pieces to the bark, orange, and green Sour Patch Kids, eye ball candies, and sprinkles. Try to make sure toppings are spread out evenly, and gently pressed down.
4. Place baking sheet into the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the chocolate to harden.
5. Once set, remove pan from the fridge and carefully pull away the chocolate from the paper.
6. Break it into chunks that vary in size.
7. Add to a serving dish or bag up for Halloween party or lunchbox snack treats.

I really love how quick and easy these chocolate dipped Halloween treats were to put together. The beauty of making them is that they don’t have to be perfect and will all be a little different. 

They kept nicely in the fridge for 5 days and stacked well on top of each other when plated on a tray. 

Tell me this isn’t the cutest cookie/cracker Char-BOO-Terie tray? So much fun!
