Ingredients

- 24 candy eyes
- 1 tsp coconut oil, optional
How to Make Spider Oreo Cookies
- Prepare the chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Prepare the spider legs: Break the pretzel sticks into smaller pieces to create eight short legs for each spider.
- Attach the legs: Carefully separate each Oreo cookie. Place four pretzel pieces on each side of the cream filling, then gently press the cookie back together.
- Add the chocolate: Dip the top of each Oreo into melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the cookie.
- Add the eyes: Place two candy eyes on each cookie while the chocolate is still soft.
- Create details: Melt the white chocolate and use a small piping bag or zip-top bag to add tiny details around the eyes if desired.
- Set the cookies: Place the cookies on parchment paper and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve: Arrange the finished Spider Oreo Cookies on a Halloween platter and serve.
Tips for the Best Spider Oreo Cookies

- Work gently when separating the cookies so they don’t break.
