Posted on October 26, 2025 by Ruthanne

These friendly purple monsters are filled with an Oreo, and are sure to make the kids in your life smile this Halloween!

Usually, I dip my Oreo pops, but this time I used some Oreo Pop molds (got mine here), and I love how they turned out! If you don’t want to purchase molds, these would be just fine dipped as well (instructions here). You could also save some time on these by purchasing the large eyes, but I wanted to save a little on the cost (and I already had both white and black candy melts).

Want to know how to make these fun little monsters??? Here we go! (Printable recipe here)

INGREDIENTS:

One package of Double Stuf Oreos
2 12oz packages of Wilton Candy Melts (in purple)
1 12 oz package of Wilton Candy Melts (in white)
1 12 oz package of Wilton Candy Melts (in black- you will not need the entire bag)
24 Lollipop sticks

DIRECTIONS:

Slide a lollipop stick into each Oreo, making sure it doesn’t come out of the top.
Melt purple candy melts in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melts into each mold cavity

Press an Oreo into each cavity, allowing melts to rise up along sides.
Spoon a little more of the candy melts on top, and tap on counter to get bubbles out and fill in along the sides. Note: if you have these clear molds, you can lift them up and check for any areas that might have bubbles or where the melts aren’t covering the Oreo, and use a toothpick to poke those out and allow the candy melts to fill in.
Allow candy melts to harden. I put these on a small cookie sheet and freeze them for about 5 minutes to speed up the process.
Turn the mold over and tap to release the covered Oreo.

For the eyes (if you do not purchase them), put some melted white candy melts into a zip-top bag and clip a corner.
Put some melted black candy melts into a bag as well, and clip a smaller corner.
On parchment or wax paper, squeeze the white candy melts out into a 3/4″ to 1″ circle.
Use the black candy melts to squeeze a pupil in the center of the white to create a big eyeball.
Allow your eyes to harden up.
Mix a little white into any leftover purple candy melts you have, to make lavender. Put this lighter purple into a zip-top bag and clip a corner.
Squeeze some lavender melts onto the top-middle of the Oreo pop and press an eye on top until the lighter purple squeezes out around the edges.
Pipe a little half-smile under the eye.
Allow everything to harden up.
Tie these up in cute little bags (I LOVE these ones because they fit a covered Oreo perfectly and leave room to tie a ribbon under it!) to make them last longer (they will last 4-6 weeks in tied bags) and ENJOY!!

My thoughts: These turned out exactly as I pictured them in my mind, and I love that they aren’t scary 🙂 Be creative with yours- maybe you need three eyes or a different color? However you decide to make them, I hope you enjoy the process and the results! ~r

Epic Monster Cookies!

Posted on September 8, 2019 by Ruthanne

Every once in awhile I run into a dessert that I simply HAVE to try making. These cookies are that dessert. Recently, my husband and I were invited to be a part of a good friend’s wedding in Georgia. At the rehearsal, the groom’s mom handed out little bags filled with these cookies… and the rest is history. I’ve had monster cookies before… but I’ve never had ones that tasted this good! Thick and full of oats- kind of like the oatmeal no-bake cookies… but better. Seriously– you need to try them!

So I got the recipe from Debbie Howard, mom of my recently married friend Josh. It was a really old recipe in one of those church cookbooks where everyone submits recipes. It had alterations scribbled all over the recipe, so it took me three tries, but I finally perfected the recipe. You need to make these exactly as instructed though- or they won’t work as well- and believe me- when they work….? Epic. Cookies.

My biggest mistake was not refrigerating the dough before scooping them out- and they flattened into thin crispy puddles You need to refrigerate- so give yourself at least 2 hours extra time for that. Otherwise, they are fairly easy cookies and worth every bit of effort!! Want the recipe? Here you go! (printable recipe)

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick of butter (softened to room temperature)
3 eggs
1 ½ cups of extra crunchy peanut butter
¾ tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
5 cups oatmeal (old-fashioned kind- not instant!)
½ cup M&Ms
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars together and add eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Add peanut butter and beat together until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, toss salt, baking soda, oats, pecans, M&Ms and chocolate chips together.
Add bowl of dry ingredients to wet and mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for about two hours (you must do this, or the cookies will spread thin and crunchy when baked). Dough should be just hard enough to still scoop, so test the time a bit, as refrigerators vary in temperature.
Preheat oven to 365F degrees.
Use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to place cookie dough on a parchment paper- covered cookie sheet. Roll them smooth with your hands and then flatten them a little bit before baking. Leave room between cookies to allow them to spread a little.
Bake at 365F degrees for 10-12 minutes. They should be just turning brown on top when you remove them.
Slide cookies off sheet, still on parchment paper, and allow them to cool on counter- they will seem fragile until they cool and harden up.
Enjoy!

My thoughts: Well, I already said this once, but these are really delicious cookies. They are thick and chewy and so peanut-buttery! Store them in an air-tight container and they keep for a long time (we are still eating ours a week later!) Enjoy! ~r
