Instructions
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add your white melting chocolate and a bit of shortening (this helps it melt smooth). Microwave for 1 minute total, checking and stirring at the 30-second mark, since every microwave is different.
Stir Until Smooth: Once most of the chocolate is melted, take it out and stir until it’s silky smooth.
Add Color: Add one drop of food coloring at a time, stirring in between, until you reach your perfect pastel pumpkin shade. (I love pinks and soft oranges!)
Pour the Base: Pour a little of the melted chocolate into the bottom of your pumpkin mold—just enough to fill about 1/4 of the mold.
Stack the Oreos: Twist an Oreo open, and place the filling side on top of a whole Oreo—making a cute little 1.5-cookie stack. Place the stack right into the mold on top of the chocolate.
Fill the Mold: Pour more melted chocolate over the top and around the sides of the Oreo stack until the mold is completely filled.
Let Them Set: Let the chocolate cool and harden. You can speed things up by popping the mold in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
Pop ‘Em Out & Enjoy!: Once set, gently remove your pastel pumpkin Oreos from the mold.
