Chocolate sandwich cookies with a shimmery Halloween makeover!
These Mini Glitter Jack Sandwich Cookies are bite-size, chocolate-covered treats with plenty of Halloween sparkle. Each little Jack has a Mini Oreo in the center, a dark chocolate shell, and a shimmery finish in spooky shades. They’re especially cute in favor boxes with Halloween candy, which makes them the best kind of party favor.
Flavor Profile
These are rich, chocolatey, and crunchy with classic Oreo flavor in the center. The dark chocolate shell gives them a deeper cocoa flavor, while the Mini Oreo adds that familiar cookies-and-cream crunch. The glitter spray is all about the finish, so you can add Halloween color without changing the flavor.

Ingredient Highlights
Dark melting wafers: Dark chocolate gives the cookies a richer flavor and helps the Jack details stand out once they’re removed from the mold.
Mini Oreos: The mini size fits neatly inside the mold while still giving each cookie a crunchy sandwich-cookie center.
Edible glitter spray: Use several spooky colors for a mixed, shimmery look. Make sure the glitter spray you use is labeled edible.
Jack mold: A sandwich cookie mold gives you enough room for the chocolate shell and Mini Oreo center while still showing off the Jack-o’-lantern details.
Melt the dark chocolate according to the package directions.
Fill each mold cavity about halfway with melted chocolate.
Place one Mini Oreo into the center of each cavity, then cover with additional chocolate until the mold is filled.
Gently tap the mold against the counter to release any air bubbles. If a cookie starts to rise toward the surface, lightly press it back down with the tip of a knife.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Carefully remove the cookies from the mold and let them come to room temperature.
Spray the cookies with assorted colors of edible glitter dust. Mix up the colors so every Jack has a slightly different look.
Fill favor boxes with assorted Halloween candy and a few Mini Glitter Jack Sandwich Cookies.
FAQ
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes. Milk chocolate will make the cookies sweeter, but you can use it the same way in the mold.
Why should I let the cookies come to room temperature before spraying them?
Letting them come back to room temperature helps reduce condensation so the glitter spray goes on more evenly.
What should I do if the Mini Oreo floats toward the top?
Use the tip of a knife to gently press it back into the melted chocolate before refrigerating the mold.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Make the cookies ahead and store them in a cool, dry place. Add them to the favor boxes closer to the party.
Do I have to use several glitter colors?
No. You can use one shade for the whole batch, but mixing several spooky colors gives you a fun assortment.
