These Oreo Spiders are the perfect spooky Halloween treat! An easy activity to do with kids or serve for a Halloween party.
These Oreo Spiders are the best Halloween dessert!
Spiders, Ghosts, Goblins, oh my! Jack-o-lanterns and Haunted Houses, Mummies and Vampires! It’s so much fun to think about Halloween treats this time of year.
These Oreo spiders are just adorable, super simple to make, and perfect for little kiddo hands to help with. You can make these with regular Oreos, double stuffed Oreos, halloween Oreos, any kind of Oreos!
We love using Oreos for desserts like Oreo Truffles, Oreo Dip, Oreo Pie and Halloween Oreo Balls.
Ingredients To Make Spider Cookies

- Pretzel Rods
How to make oreo spiders for Halloween
Step 1: Break pretzel rods in half and stuff into the oreo cookies to form the spider legs.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate until smooth. You need just a little bit of chocolate for this recipe. Depending on how many spiders you make you may only need a few tablespoons of chocolate chips. Just enough to dab on where the eyes will go to help them stick.
Step 3: Use a toothpick or whatever you have on hand to place the melted chocolate onto the oreos where the eyes will go.
Step 4: Immediately place the googly eye candies onto the melted chocolate. Place the oreos in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
These are just too much fun and my kids loved them. We will be making these spider cookies for Halloween again this year!
With the leftover chocolate I dipped some extra pretzel rods into melted chocolate and placed it in the fridge to harden. I called these “spider legs” and the kids thought that was so funny.
Break out your fun Halloween plates and decor and serve this easy and fun treat! A spooky favorite that everyone will love!
These are the perfect easy treat for a Halloween party or a fun snack to send with the kids to school.
Get your spooky on and try these oreo cookie spiders this year!

What a great recipe .I will try it for my Halloween deserts..P
Just made some for a COA party. Had to use the double stuffed since the regular stuff was so thin the “legs” had nothing to stick into. They came out awesome though! One question- could I make these a day ahead & leave in the fridge or would that make the “legs” too soft by the next day? Thanks & thanks for sharing this great & easy recipe !
I think they would be fine for a day! But they would be fine to leave at room temp in an airtight container also.
Wow! What could be easier than these adorable little creepy spiders. Yum!!
can I make and store in air tight container for 1 week
I probably would not store them that long as they may go stale.
Hi, I like this idea of oreo spiders. My question is – After taking them out of the fridge (after chocolate sets), for how long can these stay outside at room temperature? Should these be consumed right after taking them out of the fridge? I am thinking to make these for my daughter’s school halloween party which is in the afternoon. I don’t know if these will start to soften if I make these in the morning and keep outside at room temperature till noon?
I think they would be fine! I wouldn’t worry about melting unless its super warm outside.
