Ingredient list

4 Boo OREO Cookies

Directions

Twist the top and bottom halves of each cookie in opposite directions to separate the cookie halves, leaving all the creme on one half of each cookie.

Carve the creme into a pumpkin shape as shown in photo, using a small metal spatula, toothpick or wooden skewer. Then, use a toothpick to draw jack-o'-lantern faces in the pumpkins, carefully removing and discarding any excess creme.

Recipe Tips

Hints on Twisting the Cookie Halves Apart
Twist the cookies apart gently in a back-and-forth motion to release one cookie half from the creme. Or, you can use a small metal spatula to scrape the creme close to one half of the cookie. Any creme remaining on the plain cookie halves can be spread onto the creme-topped cookie halves. If desired, you can scrape off and discard any creme smudges with the spatula, skewer or toothpick.
Make it Your Own
Have fun "carving" your jack-o'-lanterns! Make an upside-down triangle nose, a spooky round mouth or a zig-zagged toothy smile. Each jack-o'-lantern is as different as the carver. Add a small piece of green gumdrop or green sprinkles to the stem. Or, use a toothpick to lightly score the pumpkins' ridges.
