Have you ever noticed that sometimes the simplest recipes are the best?

It’s quite insulting if you really want to know. I can spend hours slaving over a complicated and creative dessert but do you want to know what everyone eats first? The ridiculously simple stuff that I whipped up in mere minutes.

Rice Krispie treats. Pretzels coated in almond bark. A pan of fudgy brownies made with boxed mix.

Is it possible that life really is this simple? Does a sheet cake with canned frosting and sprinkles hold the keys to the universe? I don’t mean to get too deep and philosophical with you guys, but it’s got me thinking.

Enter, the famous Oreo truffle.

Candy Corn Oreo Pops

If you’ve never had an Oreo truffle, you’re missing out. Everyone loves them! Of COURSE they do – they’re simply crushed Oreos and cream cheese mixed together, rolled into balls, and coated in melted white or milk chocolate.

Three ingredients, no-bake, and this is what’s bringing all the boys to the yard. Life is so weird sometimes.

In honor of Halloween, I decided to put these Oreo truffles on a stick! Something about a stick just makes everything better, and these candy corn Oreo pops are no exception. A triple dip in white, orange and yellow candy gives them a bright and festive look that is perfect for a party tray or gifting to your favorite teachers or neighbors.

They’ll all ask for the recipe, of course. And while this isn’t necessarily your culinary moment to shine, rest assured that these will be the first thing to disappear from the party platter.

I barely had these babies dipped before my children descended upon me, practically foaming at the mouth. Kids are frightening sometimes, aren’t they?

I hope you love these as much as we did. They’re a great last minute treat to have in your arsenal.

If you know me at all you KNOW that I LOVE the movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas“. I mean I really, really love it. I actually watch it at least twice a week. I have my tablet set up in the kitchen with speakers and that movie is on while I’m baking and cooking (I switch between that and Alice in Wonderland). It’s my “cooking movie” haha.

I don’t know why I love it so much, but I just do. Side note — if you want to win my heart forever, get me or make me a The Nightmare Before Christmas birthday cake! Really, that’s how much I love it. haha. It probably goes hand in hand with my love of Halloween.

Speaking of Halloween, it’s almost here!!! Only a few more days! So I’ve got something special for you! Amazingly super easy, Jack Skellington Oreo Pops!! Jack Skellington, please tell me that you know who Jack Skellington is! If you don’t I just don’t feel like we can be friends….

If you need a refresher, Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King! He’s the main character in “The Nightmare Before Christmas” aka the best movie ever. OK well maybe not the BEST movie ever but it’s on up there for me.

Last year Karyn from Pint Sized Baker made these Jack Skellington Cake Pops and I just loved them! I wanted to make them for our Halloween Party this year and wanted to make a batch for #SundaySupper but since I was being lazy  am being super awesome on my Clean Eating Challenge, I thought that having a bunch of cake pops around wasn’t such a good idea. Humm… what else is round? The dang Halloween Oreos that I’ve been eyeing on the top of my refrigerator haha.

Those will work! So with inspiration from my favorite movie and Karyn from Pint Sized Baker, I give you Jack Skellington Oreo Pops!!

Happy Haunting! Check out all of the spooky Halloween recipes and crafts on this website!!

UPDATE! I know a lot of people are having trouble with the Wilton markers, they use to work wonders but the past few packs I’ve bought have been dried out. I recently switched to these AmeriColor Black Edible Markers and I love them!

You should be able to find the Americolor pens at Hobby Lobby, Michael’s and maybe even Walmart.

Another Tip! My Friend Kayrn made Jack Cake pops and she used Black Cookie Icing for her faces! That might work here too!
