Ingredients
- Oreos (classic, double-stuffed, or flavored varieties)
- Mini pretzel sticks
- Candy eyes
- Chocolate frosting
- Optional decorations: colored sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or candy pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Clear a clean surface and lay down parchment paper.
- Separate the Oreos: Gently twist apart each Oreo cookie to separate the top and bottom halves, keeping the cream filling intact on one side.
- Attach the pretzel legs: Break pretzel sticks in half to create eight legs for each spider. Press four pretzel halves into the cream filling on each side of the cookie.
- Reassemble the cookie: Carefully place the cookie top back over the cream and pretzel legs, pressing down gently to secure them.
- Add the candy eyes: Use a small dab of chocolate frosting to glue the candy eyes onto the top of the Oreo.
- Decorate: Add extra decorations like sprinkles or mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Let them set: Allow the frosting to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
