- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Oreo Cookies (Standard or Double Stuf)
- 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough or Crescent Sheets
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup Orange candy melts
- 1/2 cup Purple candy melts
- 1/2 cup Green candy melts
- 24–36 Edible candy eyes (various sizes)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, to thin the candy melts)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers (with holes) to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface. If using standard crescent rolls, pinch the seams together to create one large sheet. Cut the dough into 12 equal-sized squares or circles that are large enough to fully encase an Oreo.
- Place one Oreo cookie in the center of each dough piece. Fold the edges of the dough over the cookie, stretching it slightly if needed, until the entire cookie is covered. Pinch the seams tightly to seal so no cookie is visible. Roll the ball gently between your palms to smooth it out.
- Place the dough-wrapped cookies into the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Lightly spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray. Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown. Carefully remove them from the basket and let them cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.
- Place the different colors of candy melts into separate microwave-safe bowls. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in a tiny bit of coconut oil. Transfer the melted chocolate to piping bags or small zip-top bags with the corner snipped off.
- Drizzle the melted colored chocolate over the cooled “monsters” in a messy, mummy-like or web pattern. While the chocolate is still wet, press one, two, or three candy eyes into the top of each cookie. Let the chocolate set completely before serving.
