Description

These Hairy Spider Decorated Oreos are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any creepy-themed party. Featuring Oreo cookies transformed with licorice legs, melted dark chocolate, candy eyes, and chocolate sprinkles, these no-bake treats are easy to assemble and delight both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Licorice Legs

  • 15 licorice wheels

Oreos

  • 1 package Oreo cookies (14oz regular or 15oz double Stuf)

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 oz dark chocolate for melting (or dark candy melts, melted and slightly cooled)

Decorations

  • 60 edible candy eyes
  • 1 cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the licorice: Cut each licorice wheel in half. Peel off 4 strands from each half, then cut each strand lengthwise down the middle to create two long, skinny spider legs per strand.
  2. Add legs to cookie: Carefully split an Oreo cookie into two halves. Place one half on a sheet of baking parchment. Dip the end of each licorice leg into the melted chocolate, then arrange them on the exposed side of the Oreo half to resemble spider legs. Sandwich the other half of the Oreo back on top to close.
  3. Decorate the cookie: Using a spoon, spread a layer of melted chocolate over the top and slightly down the sides of the assembled Oreo. Place two edible candy eyes on top to form the spider’s eyes, then generously sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the entire surface to add texture and a hairy effect.
  4. Dry: After about 15 minutes, use an offset spatula to carefully transfer the decorated Oreos to a clean sheet of baking parchment. Allow them to dry completely for several hours or preferably overnight. Once set, store the cookies in a single layer inside cookie tins at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute licorice wheels with different colored licorice to customize your spiders.
  • If you don’t have an offset spatula, a regular spatula or butter knife can be used carefully to transfer cookies.
  • These treats require no baking and are great for a quick Halloween dessert.
  • Store cookies in a single layer to prevent the legs from being crushed or broken.
