Description

These Spider Oreo Treats are a fun and spooky Halloween dessert that’s perfect for parties and celebrations. Made with crushed Oreo cookies mixed with cream cheese to form bite-sized balls, coated in Oreo crumbs, and decorated with chocolate legs and candy eyeballs, they are both delicious and visually striking. The simple no-bake recipe combines creamy textures with crunchy chocolate for a delightful treat everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies and Filling

  • 18 oz. package of Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Decoration

  • 6 oz. chocolate melting wafers
  • 50 candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Crush Oreos: Place the entire 18 oz. package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until the cookies turn into very fine crumbs.
  2. Set Aside Crumbs: Remove 2/3 cup of the finely crushed Oreo crumbs from the processor and set them aside for coating the spider bodies later.
  3. Mix with Cream Cheese: Cut the softened 8 oz. cream cheese into chunks and add it to the remaining Oreo crumbs in the food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  4. Form Balls: Scoop out 25 small portions of the Oreo mixture using a small spoon, tablespoon, or melon baller. Roll each portion into a firm ball with your hands.
  5. Coat Spider Bodies: Dip each Oreo ball into the set aside Oreo crumbs, rolling it until completely coated, to resemble the spider’s body.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Melt the 6 oz. chocolate melting wafers in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Create Spider Legs: Transfer the melted chocolate into a squeeze bottle or a small Ziploc bag with a tiny corner cut. Pipe spider leg shapes resembling lines or L-shapes onto a piece of parchment paper laid on a baking sheet.
  8. Freeze Legs: Place the baking sheet with the piped spider legs into the freezer for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
  9. Attach Eyes: Dab a small amount of melted chocolate on the back of each candy eyeball and stick it onto the top center of each Oreo ball (spider body).
  10. Assemble Spiders: Once the chocolate legs have hardened, press six legs into each spider’s body around the edges to complete the look, securing them with a small dab of melted chocolate if needed.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin, then mix by hand with cream cheese.
  • Use different colored candy eyeballs for a fun and spooky variation.
  • Store the finished spiders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For quicker chocolate melting, use a double boiler if not using a microwave.
