Ingredients
- Halloween Oreos
- Reeses Pieces
- thin licorice (like)
- chocolate frosting
Directions
| Step 1 | |
|
Here's the original lineup of ingredients I used.  | |
| Step 2 | |
|
The "cookie icing" was definitely the wrong choice for these. As you can see, it's extremely loose.  | |
| Step 3 | |
|
Wyatt didn't care in the least. All he wanted to do was eat Twizzlers and Reeses Pieces anyway.  | |
| Step 4 | |
|
On the other hand, I still wanted to make spiders. The next day I bought this cookie creme frosting and it worked great!  | |
| Step 5 | |
|
I also found the chocolate flavor much more pleasing than the other icing. Anyway, now that I had the right "glue", it was time to start making some spiders! I started by pulling apart some of the green licorice, and breaking it off into equal sized pieces. After making one with longer legs and another with shorter legs, I found that the shorter legs worked much better.  | |
| Step 6 | |
|
Grab an Oreo, and dollop two globs of frosting where you'd like his eyes to go.  | |
| Step 7 | |
|
Squish on a couple of conveniently colored Reeses Pieces, and BAM!  | |
| Step 8 | |
|
He's got eyes! Now squirt a generous line of frosting along the side so that you'll have enough room for four legs.  | |
| Step 9 | |
|
I'll give you three guesses what comes next.  | |
| Step 10 | |
|
That's right... spider legs. Add four more on the other side, and all he needs now is a name.  | |
| Step 11 | |
|
Ok so maybe don't name them, just eat them!  | |
| Step 12 | |
| And have a Happy Halloween! | |
