Ingredients In This Recipe
The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.
Oreo cookies - you will need regular-sized oreo sandwich cookies and mini oreo cookies to make this recipe.
Biscoff spread - We used a smooth Biscoff spread for attaching the spider body to the cookie, but you could use peanut butter or another nut butter.
Licorice - we used a black licorice wheel for the spider legs because that was the only type we could buy at the time, and it worked out well.
However, you could also use black licorice string and cut eight pieces for the legs.
If you don't want to use licorice, you could pipe on melted chocolate for the legs or use pieces of pretzel sticks.
Eyes - we used candy eyes for the spider cookies, but you could also use mini M&M's or mini Smarties.
Step By Step Instructions
How to make oreo spiders for Halloween.
Step 1 - Spread about ½ teaspoon of biscoff spread on top of regular-sized oreo cookies.
Step 2 - Cut a piece of licorice wheel about 2 cm long, use the ridges on the wheel as a guide, and cut the strip in half.
Step 3 - Next, use scissors or a sharp knife to make 3 cuts into the strip (but don't cut to the end) to make four legs on each piece.
Step 4 - Place the licorice legs on top of the peanut butter.
Step 5 - Twist mini oreo cookies in half, place the half without cream over the licorice legs.
Step 6 - Then position the half with the cream to overlap the body for the face.
