In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the candy wafers for about 2 min., in 30-sec. intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert a fork into 1 sandwich cookie (through the cookie filling) and dip into melted candy, turning to coat both sides and tapping on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sandwich cookies. Let chocolate set for 30 min.

Using the decorating gel tubes, add eyes, teeth, and a nose to each cookie to resemble a skull. Pipe fun decorations around the eyes and forehead in various colors. Refrigerate 15 min., until set.
