Who doesn’t love OREOS? I mean, they are a chocolatey classic cookie perfect with a glass of milk. But what I love most about these delicious cookies is that you can take them to the next level by creating fun recipes with them, like these Chocolate Covered Spider Oreos. With just a few simple ingredients, you can turn ordinary cookies into a cute treat perfect for a Halloween Party.
Spider Oreos
Are you looking for the perfect treat to prepare for family, friends, or even your child’s classmates this Halloween? If so, these Chocolate Covered Spider Oreos are worth a try! Not only are they easy to put together, but they’re also super cute and delicious. As long as you’re a chocolate lover, you can expect to enjoy these goodies.
Ingredients Needed
Perhaps one of the best reasons to make these treats, other than their delicious taste, is that you don’t need a bunch of ingredients to prepare them. In fact, you’ll only need the following:
- White Candy Melts – You’ll use these candy melts to cover the Oreos, reserving a few for when you need to pipe the spider web on top.
- Paramount Crystals – If you can’t find these crystals in the store, you can buy them online.
- Chocolate Chips – Use your favorite brand of chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts.
- Malted Milk Balls – If you don’t like these, you can use any other chocolate-rounded candy.
- Candy Eyeballs – Don’t forget the candy eyes, which you’ll use as a finishing touch for your spiders.
- Oreos – You’ll need six Oreo cookies to follow this recipe. However, you’ll definitely need more if you plan to double or triple the recipe to serve more people.
- Other tools: piping bag and #1 piping tip
Will I need special equipment to melt the chocolate used in this recipe?
No, you don’t need a double boiler pot or any other special candy melting equipment to prepare these Chocolate Covered Spider Oreos. Make sure you’re using microwave-safe bowls for melting your candy so that nothing burns in the process.
Do I have to use chocolate Oreos or can I use a different flavor?
The type of Oreo cookies you choose to use is entirely up to you. No one will see the center of them until they bite into them, so you can use the Golden version or any of the other tasty flavors that Oreo provides, such as carrot cake or brownie cookies!
Can I use a generic version of sandwich cookies for this recipe?
Of course! If you don’t want to buy Oreo cookies, you can purchase any other brand of sandwich cookies, and they’ll still work just as well in this recipe.
What should I do if I don’t have a piping bag?
If you don’t have a piping bag to create the spider web on top of the candy-coated cookies, don’t stress about it. You can put the remaining melted candy in a sandwich bag, seal it shut, and snip a small tip from the bottom of it, using it as a piping bag! You can also use a toothpick to add melty candy and create a web if you don’t have a sandwich bag available.
Chocolate Covered Spider Oreos are the perfect treat to serve as we get closer to the spooky season. Whether you’re having friends over or want to make a special treat for your children, this recipe will be a huge hit!

Chocolate Covered Spider Oreos
Make these adorable and tasty Chocolate Covered Spider Oreos for the perfect Halloween treat. Children and adults can enjoy the sweet taste and spooky appearance of this easy-to-prepare Halloween Recipe! This easy Halloween snack idea is cute, easy and will be a big hit at your Halloween Party.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white candy melts, reserve 1/2 cup for piping on top to make the spiderweb
- Paramount Crystals
- 6 regular Oreos
- ¼ cup chocolate chips or brown candy melts
- Malted milk balls or other round candy
- Candy eyeballs
Instructions
- I like to work in sections and melt more candy as I need it. Melt some of the chocolate in the microwave by microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring in between each session. Remove bowl from microwave just before fully melted. Stir until smooth.
- Drop about ¼ cup of candy melt into the bottoms of the container. Place an oreo in the center of the holes and press down slightly. Don’t press too far that you’ll see it when you take them out of the containers.
- Spread more chocolate on top. You can just cover the cookie to use less candy melt and make more Spider candies, or you can fill it to the top of the container so that they are all consistently sized.
- Set aside for the candy to fully set, about an hour. Once the candy melt is set, you can remove them from the container.
- Melt about 1/4-1/2 cup of candy melt as you did before, and add about 1 teaspoon of paramount crystals to thin it out a bit. (you can add more if needed)
- Place the chocolate in a piping bag and cut a small hole at the tip. Drizzle the icing circles on the top of the candy, and then overlap some on the sides.
- While the chocolate is still melted, place the malted milk balls on top and allow the chocolate to firm up.
- Melt brown chocolate and add paramount crystals as needed, and transfer to a piping bag with a small hole cut into the tip. Pipe 4 spider legs on each side, and fill in the gap between the milk balls with chocolate.
- Add two dots of chocolate on the front of the spider’s face and add the eye candy. You may need to hold them for a few seconds to make sure they don’t slide down.
