Ingredients
Ingredients
- Oreos – 1 package (about 36 cookies)
- Chocolate chips – 1/4 cup (for melting and glue)
- Googly eye candy – 24 pieces
- Pretzel rods – 6 rods, broken in half to create legs
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Place about 1/4 cup or less of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt gently in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Assemble Spider Legs: Break pretzel rods in half to form legs. Position four pretzel halves on each side of an Oreo cookie to resemble spider legs.
- Attach Eyes: Use a toothpick to dab a small amount of melted chocolate on the Oreo where the eyes will go. Immediately press two candy googly eyes onto the melted chocolate to secure them.
- Set the Spiders: Place the Oreo spiders in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set the eyes firmly in place.
Notes
- You can use white or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference for melting and decoration.
- If you want stronger spider legs, consider dipping the pretzel rods lightly in melted chocolate before placing.
- Store the assembled Oreo spiders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- This recipe is great for kids to assemble with supervision due to the melted chocolate step.
