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.

Mmmmm I love one dish cupcakes!

Those cupcakes look delish! Can you tell me more about the “dipping in ganache” technique? Does the ganache need to be a certain consistency first?
I have seen some maple cheesecake around the blogs, maybe that would be awesome use for the sugar? Or to top maple sugar cookies 🙂
I made a seriously awesome maple mousse cake to go with Christmas dinner this year and it used maple sugar. It was one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten. The link to the post is: http://joanne-eatswellwithothers.blogspot.com/2010/01/frozen-maple-mousse-pie-with-chocolate.html.
Go Butler!! I think I’m going to use your “go to” cupcake recipe to make some Final Four treats for the office Friday
Wow that maple syrup event looks really cool, I wish I had known about it- it looks like they only do it once a year!
Carly – I dipped the cupcakes in the ganache while it was still very liquidy. I did it a few minutes after making the ganache and then let it set up on the cupcakes. Hope that helps.
Jen, the maple syrup experience sounds like so much fun and I’ve always wanted to do it! I wonder if it’s too late this year.
Those cupcakes look so pretty. Can you tell me what kind of liners you’re using? They stay so nice and bright.
ooo I love sugar houses!!! The tastings are always the best 🙂
Lila, I get the liners online. Here is the link for the colored ones, and I also get brown liners as well.
The cupcakes look beautiful and festive!! I love real maple syrup!
I should have a birthday more often. So good…
