How to Make Oreo Eyeballs
No need to be scared off by the details—these creepy-cute treats come together in just a few easy steps! You’ll find the full printable instructions down in the recipe card below.
Step 1: Prep the Cookies. Carefully twist apart each Oreo. Place the half with the cream still intact onto a tray, cream-side up.
Step 2: Add the Eye. Put a small dab of green gel icing right in the center of the white cream. Press a candy eyeball onto the green dot.
Step 3: Draw the Veins. Use the red gel icing to draw squiggly lines from the eyeball outward, like veins. Get creative—this part is where the spooky look comes alive!
Tips for Success
- Use Double Stuff only. The extra cream helps the two halves separate cleanly without breaking.
- Chill cookies before starting. It helps firm up the cream and prevents smudging.
- Let kids help! These are great for little hands—just keep paper towels nearby.
- Make it gory. Add a drop of red food gel on the candy eyeball for a bloodshot effect!
Serving Suggestions
- Serve on a Halloween-themed platter or cupcake liner for easy handling.
- Use as spooky cupcake toppers for a fun surprise!
- Pair with Halloween punch or monster-themed drinks for a complete party treat.
- Add to a Halloween dessert board with candy corn, brownies, and popcorn mix.
How to Store
- Counter: Store in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- Fridge: Keep chilled in a sealed container for 2–3 days.
- Freezer: Not recommended.
Recipe FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble them a few hours ahead and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Can I use regular Oreos instead of Double Stuff? It’s not recommended. Regular Oreos don’t separate well and can break easily.
Are these safe for nut allergies? Oreos are generally nut-free, but always check the packaging and candy eyeball ingredients for specific allergy information.
And that’s it! These Oreo Eyeballs are the no-stress treat that looks impressive but comes together so easily. Whether you’re making them for a Halloween bash, class party, or spooky movie night, they’re sure to be a hit!
