Making Oreo Spiders is a fun and creative way to bring a spooky twist to your snacks. These delightful treats are perfect for Halloween parties, kids’ gatherings, or just a fun family activity. They are simple to make and use ingredients that are easy to find. Not only do they look adorable, but they also taste delicious! The combination of Oreos, chocolate, and Pocky sticks creates a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. Plus, they’re a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen as they can help with assembly and decorating.

HOW TO MAKE Oreo Spiders

Creating Oreo Spiders is a simple process that will only take about 15-20 minutes. Follow these easy steps to make your edible critters.

Ingredients:

10 Mega Stuff Oreo Cookies

30 Pocky chocolate cream covered biscuit sticks
Black cookie icing or melted chocolate
20 candy eyes

DIRECTIONS:

Start by cutting the chocolate portion of each Pocky stick into 3 equal pieces, each about 1 to 1.25 inches long. These pieces will serve as the legs of your spider.
Carefully remove the tops of the Oreo cookies. This is where we will insert the Pocky sticks.
Insert 8 Pocky pieces into the cream filling of each Oreo, with 4 pieces on each side to create the spider’s legs. Make sure to spread them out evenly for a balanced look.

Once all the legs are in place, replace the tops of the Oreo cookies gently.
For the finishing touch, add 2 small dots of cookie icing or melted chocolate on top of each Oreo. This is where you will attach the candy eyes.
Gently press the candy eyes onto the icing, so they stick well.

Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving or storing your Oreo Spiders.

HOW TO SERVE Oreo Spiders

These Oreo Spiders are perfect for sharing! Arrange them on a platter at your next party or family get-together. You can easily elevate your presentation by placing some fake spider web decor around the platter. It creates a spooky atmosphere that will impress your guests. If you are serving them at a Halloween party, consider adding a fun label or sign next to them that reads “Oreo Spiders,” to make them more appealing.

HOW TO STORE Oreo Spiders

If you happen to have any Oreo Spiders left over (which is unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can make the Oreos go stale faster. If you’ve used melted chocolate for decorating, be sure to let it set completely before storing to prevent it from smudging.

TIPS TO MAKE Oreo Spiders

Make sure to use Mega Stuff Oreos for an extra creamy filling, which gives your spiders a better base and a delicious taste.
If you want to add a bit of variety to your spiders, consider using colored icing or different candy eye colors.
When cutting the Pocky sticks, use a sharp knife or scissors for a clean cut.

Allow kids to help with decorating; it can be a fun and engaging activity for them!

VARIATIONS

FAQs

Can I make Oreo Spiders in advance?
Yes! You can make Oreo Spiders a day in advance. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Are there any alternatives to Pocky sticks?
Yes, you can use pretzel rods or slender chocolate-covered sticks. Just make sure they are sturdy enough to support the Oreos.
