The image shows a group of dark chocolate sandwich cookies arranged on a white marbled surface. Most cookies are made into black cat faces, each with two orange round candies for eyes, a small round candy nose, and thin black whisker lines drawn from the nose outward. The cats have small, dark chocolate ears placed on top. Among the cat cookies, there are a few regular round chocolate and golden sandwich cookies decorated simply with orange candies on top. Small orange and dark brown round candies are scattered around the cookies. Two small orange pumpkins are placed in the top left and top right corners of the image.

Ingredients

15 Oreo cookies
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
30 candy eyes
15 candy-coated chocolate buttons (brown recommended)
30 small triangle-shaped candies (e.g., orange-colored or chocolate for ears)
Black decorating gel

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth and fully melted.
Step 2: Carefully separate each Oreo cookie, keeping the cream side intact to use for the ears later.
Step 3: Dip the backsides of two candy eyes in the melted chocolate and press them onto the back side of each Oreo cookie to create the cat’s eyes.
Step 4: Using a small blob of melted chocolate, dip the point of a candy-coated chocolate button and stick it below the eyes on each Oreo to form the nose.
Step 5: With the black decorating gel, draw whiskers on either side of the nose for added detail.
Step 6: Scoop small triangular amounts of cream from the tops of each Oreo to create ears and place the triangle-shaped candies on top for emphasis. Finally, reassemble the Oreo halves and enjoy your adorable black cat treats.

Tips & Variations

Use different colored triangle candies to customize your cat’s ears and add a unique twist.
If you don’t have candy eyes, small white chocolate chips or tiny marshmallows with a dot of chocolate can work in a pinch.
Chill the melted chocolate briefly if it’s too runny for easier handling and sticking.

Storage

Store the Black Cat Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh and crisp. Avoid refrigerating, as this may cause the cookies to become soggy. If needed, gently warm them for a few seconds before serving to soften the chocolate slightly.

How to Serve

A collection of Oreo-style cookies laid out on a white marbled surface, with most cookies assembled into two layers: the bottom dark chocolate cookie and the top dark chocolate cookie decorated with cat features, including two triangular chocolate ears on top edges, a raised chocolate nose in the center, and thin chocolate whiskers on each side. Each cat cookie has two round orange candy eyes placed symmetrically on the upper half and a small black candy nose. Surrounding these are a few plain Oreo cookies and a single golden cream Oreo cookie topped with three small orange candies. Small round orange and dark brown candies are scattered around, along with two small orange mini pumpkins placed on the surface as decoration. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can try sandwich cookies with a similar shape and cream filling, but Oreos work best because their filling is firm and easy to mold.

How do I prevent the candy eyes from falling off?

Dipping the backs of the candy eyes in melted chocolate before attaching them helps them stick firmly and hold better as the chocolate hardens.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies and Candy

15 Oreo cookies
30 candy eyes
15 candy-coated chocolate buttons (brown recommended)
30 small triangle-shaped candies (e.g., orange-colored or chocolate for ears)

Chocolate and Decoration

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Black decorating gel

Instructions

Melt Chocolate: Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir well until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Separate Oreos: Carefully twist apart the Oreo cookies, keeping the cream side intact on one half to preserve the filling.
Attach Eyes: Dip the backs of two candy eyes into the melted chocolate and press them onto the backside (non-cream side) of each Oreo to create the cat’s eyes.
Create Nose: Take a small blob of melted chocolate, dip the point of a candy-coated chocolate button into it, then stick the button just below the eyes on the backside of the Oreo to form the nose.
Draw Whiskers: Use black decorating gel to draw whiskers on each side of the nose, adding personality and charm.
Form Ears and Assemble: Mound small triangular lumps of cream from the cream side of the Oreo to mimic cat ears. Press the Oreo halves back together gently, ensuring the triangular cream ears protrude slightly for effect. Your Black Cat Oreo is ready to serve!

Notes

Use brown candy-coated chocolate buttons for a natural-looking cat nose.
Alternatively, substitute candy eyes with edible googly eyes from cake-decorating shops.
Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth for easy dipping and sticking.
For a stronger set, chill the assembled Black Cat Oreos in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
These treats are best enjoyed the same day they are made for optimum freshness and texture.
