Ingredients
Ingredients
- Oreos – as many as needed
- Chocolate chips – about 1/4 cup (for melting)
- Googly eye candy – 2 per Oreo
- Pretzel rods – broken in half for spider legs
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt approximately 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. This melted chocolate will act as the glue for assembling.
- Attach Legs: Lay an Oreo flat on a surface. Place pretzel rod halves on both sides of the Oreo to form the spider’s eight legs (four on each side). Gently press into the cream filling to secure.
- Add Eyes: Using a toothpick, dab a small amount of melted chocolate on the top center of the Oreo where you want to place the eyes. Immediately press two candy googly eyes into the melted chocolate to adhere.
- Set the Spiders: Place the completed Oreo spiders on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set firmly.
Notes
- You can substitute pretzel rods with thin pretzel sticks if you prefer smaller legs.
- If you don’t have candy eyes, small white and dark chocolate chips can be used to mimic eyes.
- Store the Oreo spiders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added fun, consider dusting with edible glitter or adding small chocolate fangs.
