Oreo Spider Webs

These Oreo Spider Webs are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any themed party. They are easy to make and delicious, combining the crunch of Oreos with a creamy filling and a decorative, edible spider web design.

Ingredients:

  • 12 Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for spider web design)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for spiders)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoothing the chocolate)
  • Edible black candy eyes (optional, for spider decoration)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oreo Base:

    • Twist the Oreo cookies apart, carefully scraping the filling into a bowl (you can eat it or use it in another recipe).
    • Place the Oreo cookie halves (without filling) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  2. Melt the White Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth. If desired, add a small amount of coconut oil to help the chocolate melt smoothly.

  3. Make the Spider Webs:

    • Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the white melted chocolate over each Oreo half in a spiral pattern. Starting from the center, make concentric circles, then use a toothpick or skewer to drag lines from the center to the outer edges, creating a spider web effect.

  4. Melt the Dark Chocolate for the Spiders:

    • In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips using the same method as the white chocolate.
    • Use a small spoon to place a small dollop of dark chocolate in the center of each Oreo. Using the spoon, shape the dark chocolate into a spider body.

  5. Create the Spider Legs:

    • You can either use more dark chocolate or small pieces of candy or pretzels for the spider legs. Pipe or arrange the legs around the body to complete the spiders.

  6. Add Eyes (Optional):

    • Place small edible candy eyes onto the spider body for extra detail.

  7. Chill the Oreos:

    • Place the decorated Oreos in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.

  8. Serve:

    • Once the chocolate is fully set, serve your Oreo Spider Webs on a plate and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Customization: You can add other decorations, like candy corn or edible glitter, to make the spider webs even more festive.
  • Darker Chocolate: You can use dark chocolate for the web itself, or even a combination of dark and milk chocolate for a more complex design.
  • No Piping Bag?: If you don’t have a piping bag, simply use a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off to drizzle the white chocolate.

These Oreo Spider Webs are sure to be a hit at any Halloween celebration or fun treat gathering! Would you like other spooky dessert ideas or more tips on decorating for Halloween?
