These Oreo Spiders are not only adorable but also delicious and easy to make. They’re the perfect treat to add some spooky fun to your Halloween celebrations!
Supplies
Oreos (or any chocolate sandwich cookies)
Pretzel sticks (for the spider legs)
Candy eyes (available at most grocery stores or craft stores)
Melted chocolate or peanut butter (to help the eyes stick)
Instructions

Assemble the Spiders: Gently twist open an Oreo. Insert four pretzel legs on each side, pressing them into the cream filling. Place the top back on.
Attach the Eyes: Dab a little melted chocolate or peanut butter onto the back of the candy eyes and stick them onto the Oreo.
Let It Set: Allow the spiders to sit for a few minutes so the eyes stay in place.
Enjoy! Serve these spooky treats on a fun platter or wrap them individually for a Halloween-themed snack!
Tips & Variations:
Use licorice strips instead of pretzels for a different texture.
Try double-stuffed Oreos for a sturdier treat.
Dip the Oreo edges in melted chocolate for extra yum!
2. Mummy Chocolate Pretzel Rods
Transform Pretzel Rods into spooky mummy treats with just a few ingredients.
Supplies
Pretzel rods – The base for your mummies.
White chocolate or white candy melts – To create the mummy wrap.
Candy eyes – Bring your mummies to life!
Piping bag or ziplock bag – For drizzling chocolate.
Wax paper – To prevent sticking.
Microwave-safe bowl – For melting chocolate.
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip the Pretzel Rods:
Hold one end of the pretzel and dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering about ¾ of the rod. Let any excess drip off.
Place on Wax Paper:
Lay the chocolate-coated pretzel rods on wax paper to set.
Add the Mummy Wrap:
Pour the remaining melted chocolate into a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with a tiny hole cut in the corner). Drizzle the chocolate over the pretzels in a zigzag motion to create the look of mummy bandages.
Attach the Eyes:
Before the chocolate sets, place two candy eyes near the top of each pretzel rod.
Let Them Set:
Allow the pretzels to harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
