Creepy Crawly....Oreos for Halloween?

Psst....Don't forget to answer the question at the end of this post for an entry to win a Flip Ultra HD video camera!

Today I am participating in Mayhem & Moxie's Creepy Crawly Crafts carnival. Although I can't enter the Flip giveaway as a host, YOU can earn 5 extra entries if you link up with Francesca & Kacey today!

I don't have a single Halloween decoration out in my house. The extent of our craftiness this Fall is limited to my allowing the kids to use some really old orange and black glitter glue that I picked up on Halloween clearance a few years ago.

I thought about making something creepy and crawly and absolutely festive just for you...but I didn't have it in me. And, to tell you the truth....something messy and chocolate sounded WAY more appealing than something simply messy. So Necco and I set out to make some Halloweeny Oreos. This instructional video is a little longer than I typically like to post....but I couldn't leave out any of the steps (or Necco's cuteness).



Homemade Halloween Oreo Cookies

Cookie ingredients:

1 box devil's food cake mix
1 stick of butter
2 eggs

Directions: Mix ingredients together. Roll into small balls (I would have made the cookies smaller than Necco did in the video). Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. After cookies have cooled completely, spread frosting on one cookie and sandwich with another.

Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:

2 Tbls of butter
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 t vanilla
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

Directions: Beat ingredients together until smooth, and then spread between two cookies.
