Tips For The Perfect Spider Legs

In a large part, making the spider legs perfect decides how accurate it looks. To make sure they are perfect and intact, it is best to use chocolate Pocky sticks or black licorice. Alternatively, pretzel sticks can be used for the legs as well. It adds a crunchy element as well.

Variations & Decorating Ideas

Besides the taste, texture, and flavor, Halloween treats are mostly about how they look and how they are decorated. The same goes for the thematic Oreo spider treats as well. While the spider legs are made with small pretzel sticks, Pocky sticks, or black licorice string, the candy eyes add a fun factor to the Halloween treats. One can also use frosting dots to create the eyes. While the legs and eyes of the spider take away most of the attention, the body of the spider, which holds all the other parts, is made with different flavors of double-stuffed Oreo cookies.

Storage & Make-Ahead Instruction

To keep them crispy and crunchy for up to 3 days, keep them in an airtight container and place them in a cool and dry place. While placing them in the container, make sure the layers are separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking. Refrigeration is not ideally recommended as it softens the pretzel legs.  When it comes to making them ahead, these Oreo spider cookies are best made 1 to 2 days in advance.
