How do you make Oreo Spiders?

  • Prepare and freeze candy legs so they stay sturdy. Make extra legs since they can break easily.
  • Attach legs and candy eyes with melted chocolate or almond bark, using a piping or Ziploc bag for neatness.
  • Chill the finished spiders for at least 30 minutes before serving so they hold their shape.
Can I use different Oreos?

Yes, any flavor works—classic, Double Stuf, Halloween, or golden Oreos.

Do I have to use chocolate for the legs?

No, you can use pretzel sticks, Pocky, or licorice instead.

How do I keep the spiders from falling apart?

Chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

    Ingredients

    • 18 oz. package of Oreo cookies
    • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
    • 6 oz. brown or black candy melts or almond bark
    • Candy eyes – about 50

    Instructions

    • Place into a food processor until crumbs are fine
    • Scoop about 2/3 cup of cookie crumbs for later
    • Cut cream cheese into smaller chunks and add to the food processor until cream cheese and cookies are well blended.  
    • Using a small scoop or spoon, scoop out 25 tablespoon size balls the Oreo mixture and roll each scoop into a ball. 
    • In a small microwavable bowl, melt the almond bark and put into a small squeeze bottle or you could use a Ziploc bag and make a very small cut in the corner. 
    • Pipe spider legs onto parchment paper.  These legs will just be an "L" shape.  You will need 6 spider legs per spider. I would recommend making extra in case of breakage. 
    • Place candy legs into a freezer for about 10 minutes to fully harden. 
    • Attach candy eyes onto the spider body by using some of the excess melted chocolate 
    • Insert 6 legs into each spider body. 

    Notes

    Store your spider oreo cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
