Ingredients
Scale
Cookies and Legs
- 12 Double Stuf Oreo cookies
- 48 pretzel rods (broken in half)
Chocolate Decoration
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles
- 24 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully twist apart the Oreos and place the cream side up on the baking sheet, creating the base for your spider bodies.
- Add spider legs: Press 8 of the halved pretzel rods into the cream of each Oreo, spreading them evenly around to resemble spider legs.
- Melt chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips by heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Assemble spiders: Dollop about a teaspoon of melted chocolate onto the cream of each Oreo. Sandwich the other cookie half on top to close the cookie with chocolate acting as glue.
- Decorate spiders: Spread about a teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of each assembled Oreo. Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top and then press two candy eyes firmly into the chocolate to give your spiders their creepy look.
- Set and store: Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for quicker setting. Once hardened, carefully move the Oreo Cookie Spiders and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Use Double Stuf Oreos for extra cream to secure the pretzel legs firmly.
- If chocolate sprinkles are unavailable, finely grated chocolate or mini chocolate chips can be substituted.
- To speed up chocolate melting, use a microwave-safe bowl and stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Chocolate chips can be replaced with candy melts or almond bark for easier melting and setting.
- These treats should be stored refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days for best freshness.
