Ingredients

  • 20 Oreo cookies
  • 80 small pretzel sticks
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 40 candy eyeballs
  • 40 candy corn pieces

Instructions

  • Carefully twist apart the Oreos so the filling stays on one side, the bottom. Try hard not to lick the filling.
    20 Oreo cookies
  • Melt your chocolate chips in 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring each time until melted. This may take up to 2 minutes.
    ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Break all of your pretzel sticks in half, so you have 8 halves per Oreo. Then dip the ends of the pretzels in the melted chocolate to cover them in chocolate, and place the 8 halves of the pretzels onto the Oreo, chocolate end out.

Notes

Storage & Make Ahead
  • Store: Keep your Oreo spiders in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh and crunchy for up to three days.
  • Freeze: Freezing these isn’t recommended as it can make the pretzels and cookies lose their crunch. Better to enjoy them fresh!
  • Make Ahead: You can easily make these Halloween treats up to two days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container to keep them from getting stale. Perfect for prepping ahead of a big Halloween bash!
