Ingredients for Pumpkin Patch Cookies
- White melting chocolate – White chocolate and white melting chocolate are not the same thing, so make sure you purchase the right product.
- Pumpkin candies – Pumpkin candies are made out of the same type of stuff that candy corn is made from! You can often find bags of just the pumpkins, but if you grab the bag of candy corn with pumpkins just pick out the little pumpkins.
- Vanilla and chocolate sandwich creme cookies – You don’t need to use name brand cookies for this recipe, the knock-offs will work great.
- Orange food coloring – A little orange food coloring is all you need to make the perfect pumpkin color to cover each sandwich cookie.

How to Make this Pumpkin Patch Cookies Recipe
Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and then set it to the side for later.
Gran 2 or 3 chocolate cookies and scoop the cream out of the middle. Then place them into a zip top plastic bag and crush until they are a crumbly powder.
Add 8 ounces of white melting chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir well and then continue microwaving in 15 second intervals until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
Once chocolate is fully melted, add orange food coloring and stir until it reaches the desired shade of orange.
Take a chocolate or vanilla sandwich cookie and dip them, one at a time, into the orange colored chocolate. Make sure both sides of the cookie get covered, flip it over with a fork if need be.
Remove the chocolate covered cookie and gently shake it back and forth to remove excess chocolate.
Place each covered cookie onto previously prepared parchment paper lined baking sheet. Then, while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the top.
Press a pumpkin candy into the top of each cookie.
Place the sheet of cookies in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, and allow the chocolate to set.
Once hardened, serve or store for later!
How to Store Pumpkin Patch Cookies
Store these easy no bake cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last for 3-4 days. You can also store in the fridge, but keep in mind that any rapid changes in temperature will cause the chocolate to sweat and change the texture of the cookies.
I do not recommend freezing any leftovers. They are super easy to make, so just whip up a fresh batch!

Purple, yellow, or blue food coloring for the chocolate and a robins egg would make the cutest Easter cookies! Feel free to try any other swaps and substitutions.
Pro Tips!
- Make sure you don’t overheat the chocolate. White melting chocolate can easily scorch, so take it slow and stir the chocolate between each interval in the microwave.
- If you prefer not to use the microwave, melt the chocolate over a double boiler on the stove top.
- Don’t like white chocolate? Then use milk chocolate instead! It’ll look more like the dirt of the pumpkin patch.
No bake pumpkin patch cookies are the best! You can make this easy recipe for any of the fall gatherings you have planned for the season.

Pumpkin Patch Cookies
Easy no-bake cookies that are perfect for fall. These Pumpkin Patch cookies only require 4 ingredients. Dip an Oreo in chocolate and decorate with a pumpkin candy.
Ingredients
- 18 Oreo Cookies Golden or Chocolate
- 8 ounces white melting chocolate I used two 4-ounce white chocolate baking bars
- Orange food coloring
- 18 mellowcreme pumpkin candies
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Take 2-3 chocolate cookies and remove the cream from between the cookies. On a plate or in a ziplock bag, crush the cookies until it’s a powder.
- In a small microwaveable bowl, melt the 8 ounces of chocolate (if using a baking bar, break into small pieces). Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue cooking in 15 second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Be sure not to overheat the chocolate.
- Once the white chocolate is completely melted, add the orange food coloring. Add a few drops at a time and stir until the desired color is reached.
- Take one chocolate or vanilla cookie at a time and submerge it into the orange colored chocolate. If it’s not deep enough to submerge, place one side of the cookie in the chocolate, then flip it over so that both sides are covered. Remove the chocolate covered cookie by scooping it up with a fork. Gently shake the cookie back and forth to remove excess chocolate and to get a smooth surface.
- Place the cookie onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs on top, then add the pumpkin candy in the middle.
