Chocolate Covered Oreo Apples with Gummy Worms - Recipe with picture tutorial
Red Candy Coated Oreo Apples with Gummy Worms

These chocolate-covered Oreo apples with candy worms make a great back-to-school treat!

Chocolate Covered Oreo Apples with Candy Worms

If you are looking for a fun back-to-school treat, look no further than these chocolate-covered Oreo apples. They are easy to make using Oreos, red white chocolate pieces, and various candies. They are perfect for back-to-school events, or just celebrating the first day of school with your kids.

We used traditional chocolate Oreos, but you can use your favorite flavor. These would be fun with Apple Flavored Oreos when they come out this fall!

Chocolate Covered Oreo Apples with Candy Worms

Supplies Needed:

  • Candy/Cookie mold (You either need 2 or must duplicate the process)
  • 2 Tablespoons solid shortening
  • 3/4 cup Wilton red chocolate melts
  • 12 Oreos
  • 3 mini chocolate tootsie roll candies
  • 1 large green Airhead candy
  • 12 gummy worms

Chocolate Covered Oreo Apples - ingredients

How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreos:

1.   In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the shortening for 45 seconds or until melted.

2.   Add the red chocolate melts and stir until melted. (Depending on microwave wattage, you may have to microwave in additional 10-second intervals until completely smooth and melted).

3.   Pour 1 Tablespoon of the melted red chocolate into each mold.

Prep Work for Chocolate Covered Oreo Apples:

2.   Cut each tootsie roll in half and then slice each half again to get 4 pieces per roll (12 total). Set aside. These will be the apple stems.

3. With a knife or scissors, cut the Airhead in half, lengthwise.

    How far in advance could you make these? I wasn’t sure if the candy on the outside would harden?

    I just found your blog and now I am a new subscriber. I read to children during the school year and I am always looking for new treats to make for them. These “apples” will be perfect. I have always had a problem making anything chocolate covered because I never knew about these molds. They will be the first thing I purchase at the store. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more treats.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
