I’ve had a lot of fun coming up with Halloween related goodies like our Owl S’mores and now these spiders!
These are an easy treat to make. For ingredients you’ll need: Twizzlers Pull and Peel licorice, M&Ms, Double Stuf Oreos, and chocolate candy melts or 1 cup chocolate chips + 1 Tbsp. vegetable shortening, sprinkles (optional)
First, peel apart your Twizzlers and cut the strings in half or in thirds (I wanted short legs so they’d be easier to stack on a plate, so I did thirds). Then, open up your Oreos and gently press four pieces of licorice into the white filling.
Melt your chocolate candy melts or your chocolate chips + vegetable shortening (1 cup chips and 1 Tbsp. shortening). You can find tips on melting chocolate chips for dipping here. Then use a spoon to flip and cover both sides of the Oreo top with chocolate.
Then use the spoon to remove the cookie from the chocolate, tap off any excess chocolate, and slide the chocolate covered cookie on top of your Oreo bottom with the legs. While the chocolate is wet, press two M&Ms in for eyes and if you choose to use sprinkles, sprinkle them on top. Dip a toothpick into the melted bowl of chocolate and use it to form the center of the eyes.
Depending on how much chocolate you use, you can get around 20 spiders from 1 cup chocolate chips and if you divide the licorice into thirds, you can get 6 sets of legs from each piece of pre-separated licorice. You can also offset the top Oreo a bit so it looks like your spider has a friendly white smile like the center one below.

Wow, I liked it. It’s a shame that here in my country do not sell TWhizzlers, I find something similar.

Wow. My boys would love to make these. How cute!
My family made this today. The hardest part was finding non-broken Oreos! We had a lot of dead soldiers, but I still managed to make nearly 40 with two packages. These should be fun for our Halloween party!
How fun that you made the cookies–we’d love to see them if you blog about it!
Those are so cute! We were going to make peanut butter cracker and pretzel spiders but those look a little more delicious. hmmm.
I linked up spider activities on Made by Little Hands Monday– if you want any easy spider activities to go with your snack.
