Substitutions and Additions

- Peanut Butter – For the delicious combination of chocolate and peanut butter, spread peanut butter on the Oreo.
- Candy Corn – Place candy corn in the Oreos to create teeth for the spider.
- Spider Legs – We used black Licorice to make these spiders, but you can also use pretzel sticks.
Step by Step Instructions

Step 3. Place the cookies back together.
Step 4. Then use the icing to put the candy eyes on the Oreos for the spider face.
Pro Tips
- Adding Icing – Make sure to add enough icing to hold the Oreo together.
- Small Hands – This is a great activity for the kids to do for an easy Halloween activity.
- Regular Oreo Cookies. The cookies are easier to work with if they are regular and not double stuffed.
- Cut the licorice. Don’t leave the licorice too long or it might break the cookie.
- Attach eyes with icing. Use just a little bit of icing to attach the candy eyes. If you use too much, it will be messy, and they won’t stick as well.
