I’ve had this recipe book marked for quite some time. It’s so simple to make and you can customize it to your tastes or what you have on hand. You could use festive candies from any holiday as well.
I love the bright orange Oreo filling (yes, I realize there is something inherintly wrong with orange Oreo filling, but I’m ok with that).
I was a little unsure about the candy corn since I’m not a huge fan, but they provided a great textural change due to their softness. I also sprinkled some salt onto the candy melts because I love salty and sweet combos. I was worried that this stuff would be way too sweet without it.
Be sure to press your candy and cookie pieces into the top of the candy melt. I didn’t really press mine in and some of them didn’t stick. Either way this stuff is pretty awesome and dissappeared before I knew it.

Ingredients:
~20 halloween Oreos broken into various sized pieces, divided
1 1/2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup candy corn, divided
1 1/2 cups Reese’s Pieces
28 ounces (two bags) white chocolate candy melts
Directions:
Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper. Spread 3/4 of cookies, pretzels, and 3/4 cup of the candy corn onto the waxed paper.
Place candy melts in a microwave safe measuring cup and heat in microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals until completely melted.
Drop melted chocolate immediately over cookie mixture, spreading with an offset spatula to coat evenly. Top with reserved cookies, candy corn and Reese’s Pieces, working quickly before chocolate hardens.
Place into refrigerator until firm. Remove and gently break apart (or use a sharp knife to press into the cookie bark – it will break apart easily) into small pieces for serving. Store in airtight container.

Looks great!! I love the history info too 🙂 Congrats you did an awesome job!
Love the history info and your buttercream looks so silky. Nicely done!
good job! rolls like the yule log and the pumpkin roll really aren’t too hard to make, but they’re great to bring to get togethers b/c everyone loves them 🙂
Congrats on your first “real” yule log. I wasn’t crazy about the buttercream either, though I did like the coffee flavor!
Yum! Very nice, creamy-looking buttercream. Looks delish! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I went for raspberry inside too – and agree that chocolate frosting would be tastier. Good job!
You did an awesome job, Jen!
Your log turned out so pretty – as did the mushrooms!
Way to go!

Your log looks wonderful, so silky creamy. Happy Holidays!
Your log looks awesome. Congratulations on completing the challenge.
Very pretty! I thought this one was harder than the “Buche” I made in French class too.
I love your texturing – nice log!
Job well done. I made it with chocolate buttercream and I think it would have gone lovely with raspberry.
I love the idea of the raspberry filling with the coffee buttercream. That must have tasted incredible.
As worldly as I thought I was at the time, I never could have attempted anything this complex in high school. You did a great job with your… it looks luscious!
I hope you had a joyous holiday, and that 2008 brings you health and happiness, laughter and love.
Great bûche de Noël and I loved reading your post.
Happy Holidays!
