FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Double-Stuffed?

Yes, regular Oreos will work, but the double-stuffed variety gives the spiders a bit more filling and a richer texture.

What other candies can I use for the eyes?

If you don’t have candy eyeballs, you can use mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, or even small gummies as eye replacements.

How do I make sure the licorice legs stay in place?

Lightly press the licorice into the cream filling to help them stay secure when you reassemble the cookie.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, these Oreo spiders can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Can I use something other than licorice for the legs?

Yes, if you don’t like licorice, pretzel sticks or candy sticks are a great alternative!
