How to Craft Delicious Oreo Spider Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy free)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 12 Oreo cookies (Halloween kind or double stuffed)
- 36 pretzel sticks
- 12 small candy eyeballs
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
Directions:
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave them for about a minute until everything is fully melted.
- Take 3 pretzel sticks and break them in half. Carefully twist the Oreo to remove the top wafer, leaving the cream side exposed. Insert the pretzel stick halves into the cream, making the spider legs.
- Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of the melted chocolate on top of the legs and then gently press the blank Oreo wafer back down on top to seal in the pretzel sticks.
- Dip one side of the cookie into the remaining melted chocolate. Place a few candy eyeballs on top, followed by a sprinkle of festive sprinkles.
- Finally, chill the cookies in the fridge for at least 10 minutes so the chocolate can harden. Enjoy your spooky creation!

Tips for Perfect Oreo Spider Cookies
