October is the month when we celebrate Halloween… It is also time for our chocolate party celebration!  Yes, the day has arrived once again.  This time, our secret ingredient is candy.  Oh, how delightful!  Well, to commemorate both occasions, I made a special treat: Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owls!!!  Isn’t that just the cutest little treat?  My children are as happy as can be.  I hope that yours will be also!

Our Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owl is much funnier and quicker to make than cupcakes.  I am telling you, kids go crazy for it.  Well, who wouldn’t?  I am an adult, and am cuckoo-crazy for this delicious, easy Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owl.

This Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owl is also a great Halloween cooking project to get children involved in. Mostly all that you need is sliced apples, melted chocolate, oreos, and candies to decorate.  I don’t know anything that could be easier to prepare than this Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owl.

At any rate, if you still wish to add cupcakes to your party, I have a great one for you: Our SPOOKY Brigadeiro Cupcakes — decorated three different ways.  I would also to encourage you to check out our other chocolate party treats below.  They are all to die for!

Chocolate Apple Halloween Owl...So cute!!! A great Halloween project for children!

Have a wonderful month, and a fun Halloween!

Cute Chocolate-Apple Halloween Owl

Easy, delicious, and super cute Chocolate-Halloween Owl -- a favorite of both children and adults.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Servings 8
Author Denise Browning

Ingredients

  • 2 apples ** I used Granny Smith
  • 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips 23 oz
  • 8 wooden sticks 6-inch
  • 1 bag standard-sized Oreos
  • 8 Candy Corns for the nose
  • Wilton Candy Eyeballs
  • Ribbons

Instructions

  1. Sit apples upright on a wood board and slice from top to bottom (about 4 slices per apple, 1/2-inch thick). Remove seeds gently. Then, line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil and push the pointed end of each stick up into the bottom of each apple slice.
  2. In a medium glass bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave according to the package directions, place bowl into a larger bowl filled with about 2-inch boiling water (this will help chocolate to not harden), and dip apple slices in chocolate using a spoon to help cover each slice if your bowl isn't deep enough to cover them.
  3. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then lay flat on the foil-lined baking sheet. Use the oreos to decorate both the eyes and ears of the owl and the candy corn for the nose while chocolate is still wet. Use a small dot of melted chocolate as a glue for the candy eyeballs. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for approximately 10-15 minutes, allowing chocolate to harden. If you wish, decorate the wood stick with a ribbon. Serve chocolate-apple Halloween owl and enjoy! Inactive Time: 10-15 minutes

    Brilliant, Denise! I’ve seen similar owls on Pinterest and have been wanting to make them. And voilà! I have the best instructions from a very trusted source =) I love, love, love your idea, too, of contrasting a tart GrannySmith (instead of cupcake) with the candy corn and chocolate and cookies =) Obligada!

    These are so great. Halloween is on Friday but I wanted to make them today. Do you think I can make them 5 days ahead of time?

    Is there a trick to getting the Oreo creme to come out perfectly on one side of the cookie? I’m trying to make the Halloween owls right now and having trouble with the Oreos… We’re having lots of ‘do-overs’… Haha! I’ve tried the twisting method, pulling really fast, using a knife and haven’t seen one method work too well yet. Any helpful tips would be great! Thanks!

      Hi, Brittany!
      I only saw your message this morning. Sorry!
      I know how difficult it is to keep the cream intact. I also had several do-overs. What might work is to leave the cookies for a minute or two on top of a heated baking sheet (lined with parchment paper) so the cream can soften a bit, and then the top comes off more easily when gently twisted, or you can also use a paring knife to help you separate the softened cream from the top cookie, working carefully. You may have to smooth over the top layer of the cream with a small, non-serrated knife and let harden again. I hope these suggestions work out better for you.

        Thanks, Denise, for the tip! I finally got into a groove and was able to make 24 of these Halloween owls for a party at work tomorrow! So excited and they turned out great!

        Is it recommended to just put these in the fridge or does a freezer work too? Our party at work is around noon and with only one small fridge in the office, I wasn’t sure if freezing these overnight would help them keep longer tomorrow in case there isn’t room in our fridge. Any thoughts on that?

          Please, store them in the refrigerator only!!! The freezer can make the chocolate crack and the treats hard to bite. In addition, once the treats come to room temperature, they would be watery. It is best to store in the refrigerator. Take them out about 5 minutes prior to serve. Wishing you all a Happy Halloween.
