Halloween Oreo Spiders
With just a few steps, you can turn Oreos into Halloween Oreo spiders. A fun project to do with kids!
Servings: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 10 Oreos
- Licorice laces string licorice
Eyes
- M&M’s, royal icing eyes, Wilton candy eyes
- Optional: black edible marker or melted dark chocolate to draw pupils
- Chocolate spread melted chocolate, or icing (to stick the eyes on)
Instructions
- Cut the licorice laces into smaller pieces. I cut one strand into 16 pieces.
- Take an Oreo and insert the small licorice pieces as legs between the two cookies, four on each side. Are they not staying in place? Use a toothpick to poke small holes first, this will help them stay put.
- Attach the eyes of your choice onto the Oreo. I used chocolate spread, but melted chocolate or icing works too.
- For the M&M eyes, I drew pupils with a black edible marker, but you could also use melted dark chocolate. The Wilton candy eyes can be found at baking or cake decorating stores.
