Description

Delightfully spooky and irresistibly delicious, these Spider Oreo Treats are a fun Halloween-themed dessert. Made with Oreo cookie crumbs, creamy cream cheese, and decorated with chocolate spider legs and candy eyeballs, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties and festive gatherings. With simple no-bake assembly and minimal freezing time, they’re both quick and fun to make with kids or friends.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies and Base

  • 18 oz. package of Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Decoration

  • 6 oz. chocolate melting wafers
  • 50 candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Process Oreo Cookies: Put the Oreos into a food processor and pulse until you have very fine crumbs. Remove 2/3 cup of these crumbs and set them aside for coating later.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese: Cut the softened cream cheese into chunks and add it to the remaining Oreo crumbs in the food processor. Blend until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a consistent dough.
  3. Form Spider Bodies: Scoop out 25 small portions of the Oreo-cream cheese mixture using a small spoon or melon baller. Roll each portion into a round ball. Roll each ball in the set-aside Oreo crumbs to coat thoroughly, creating the spider bodies.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate melting wafers into a small microwavable bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Create Spider Legs: Transfer the melted chocolate into a small squeeze bottle or a ziplock bag with a tiny cut in one corner. Pipe spider leg shapes (simple lines or L shapes) onto a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  6. Harden Legs: Freeze the chocolate spider legs on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes or until they have completely hardened.
  7. Assemble Spiders: Put a small dot of melted chocolate on the back of each candy eyeball and attach one to each spider body to form the eyes.
  8. Add Legs: Once the chocolate legs are hardened, carefully insert six legs into each spider body to complete the spooky look.

Notes

  • Be sure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the Oreo crumbs.
  • Use a small melon baller or teaspoon for even-sized spider bodies.
  • Chocolate legs can be piped in various shapes for creative spider designs.
  • Keep the chocolate warm enough to pipe but not too hot to affect the candy eyeballs.
  • Store the finished spiders in the refrigerator until serving to keep them firm.
