Spider Oreo Cookies

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Makes 24 spider cookies

Ingredients

  • 24 regular Oreo cookies
  • 96 thin pretzel sticks about half a 200 g bag, snapped to 4 cm (1.5 in) lengths
  • 48 candy eyeballs small, round
  • 1 tbsp black gel food colouring optional, to dot pupils on plain eyeballs
  • 60 g 2 oz black candy melts, melted (for gluing eyes)
  • 1 toothpick
  • Parchment-lined tray
  • Small piping bag or zip-seal bag with one corner snipped

Instructions

  • Carefully twist each Oreo apart. Avoid cracking the cookie; the filling side is your working surface.
  • Press four pretzel stick pieces into the filling on each side of the cookie, spacing them evenly so they resemble legs. Press firmly so they hold.
  • Snap the plain cookie half back on top, sandwiching the pretzel legs between the two halves so they point outward at a slight downward angle.
  • Melt the black candy melts in a microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag.
  • Pipe two small dots of black candy melt onto the filling side of the top cookie. Press one candy eyeball onto each dot immediately.
  • Let the candy melt set for 5 minutes, then arrange on a serving tray.
