They are easy to assemble, fun to make (even with kids) and so festive. We actually ended up using these for teacher treats, and I know they will just love them. The kids are so excited to see what their teachers say.

This treat was actually inspired by my son’s class party treat that I made, Oreo Spider Cupcakes. I had some left over Oreos and frosting and was wondering what I could do with them. I hate frosting going to waste and I didn’t want to (well I did, but my waistline didn’t want me to) finish off the bag of Oreos.

I am so excited for the coming years and the tradition of making these Oreo Spider Cookie Sandwiches.
Enjoy! XOXO San

How do you make Oreo Spider Cookie Sandwiches?

  • Lay out a long piece of wax paper on the counter.
  • Melt chocolate according to package directions, pour into a medium sized mixing bowl.
  • Holding the bottom part of the Oreo dip the top half into the melted dark chocolate making sure to cover most of the sides of the Oreo. Set melted chocolate side up on the wax paper, sprinkle immediately with chocolate sprinkles. Repeat with remaining Oreos.

  • Pick up one eyeball and add a small dot of chocolate onto the back using the tip of a small spoon. Set on Oreo where you want the eye to be, make sure that it is on the side of the Oreo. Add 2 more eyes next to the Oreo you just “glued” on, place them in a row, right next to each other. Repeat with remaining eyes and Oreos. Set on wax paper to set.

Buttercream Frosting
  • In a large bowl cream together butter and vanilla. Slowly blend in the sugar, one cup at a time beating well after each addition.  I love using my Kitchenaid mixer for this! Beat in the milk and continue mixing until light and fluffy. You may need to add more sugar or milk until you find the right consistency, this varies every time I do the recipe.

  • Mix in green food coloring until you reach the desired color. If you are not going to use the frosting right away keep covered until you are ready to do so. Stir in the vanilla bean seeds just before using. 

  • Pipe frosting using piping bag or Ziploc bag with corner cut off) on the bottom of one Oreo (not covered in chocolate side), go around the edge of the cookie two times, so that the cookie has 2 layers of frosting. Then top the frosting with another Oreo, bottom side directly on the frosting, while making sure that the eyes line up. Slightly push the Oreos together, to make sure that they hold together.

  • Look at pictures above recipe card if you need help with decorating. Place on wax paper, and repeat with remaining Oreos and frosting.

  • Cut Twizzlers into strips, 6 for each spider. Insert into the frosting, 3 on each side.

  • Let them set, then serve and enjoy! They can be wrapped individually to give as a treat.
