Ingredients

8 regular-size Oreos, any flavor
1 bag black chocolate candy melts
8 pocky sticks break each stick into 4 equal pieces
8 candy sticks
8 candy eye balls
4 candy corn
Parchment paper or silicone mat

Instructions

Add about 1 cup of black melts in a microwave cup or container. Place the melts in the microwave for 1 min. Then heat the melts in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the candy is melted. This will be transferred to a plate for easier chocolate application later.
Separate the top and bottom of 1 Oreo. Place a candy stick vertically in the center of the open-faced Oreo and press down into the filling to create a groove. Additionally place 6 pocky stick pieces, 3 on each side of the Oreo and press them in as well.
Taking the second Oreo and taking off the top, place the extra stick (it will be discarded later) at the bottom and the remaining 2 pocky sticks at the top for the last set of spider arms.
Dip the sticks into the melted chocolate and place them back into their grooves. You can spin the stick in place to get the chocolate on all sides. This will help“glue” the sticks to the Oreos. Allow the sticks to harden onto the Oreo entirely before the next step (about 2-5 min).
Add the melted chocolate to a plate and dip the body and legs into the chocolate, then repeat with the head. You are only covering one side in chocolate. Flip and place, the chocolate side up, onto parchment paper. *Tip: Using a plate instead of a cup or bowl will help the arms stay on the body and ensure they don’t accidentally come off while being dipped. Don’t linger in the chocolate too long or it will melt off the chocolate holding the sticks.
Take an unused Oreo half and place some chocolate in the center. Place the body with 6 legs over it and let it set.
Remove the stick from the head. Place chocolate on the underside of the head opposite the 2 arms. Flip and hold the bottom of the head to the top of the body until adhered (about 10-20 seconds)
Put a dab of chocolate on the back of the eyes and place it on the top of the head. Place another dab of chocolate on the ends of the outreached arms and place a candy corn on them.
Allow the chocolate on the spiders to set completely for about an hour before handling and then they are ready to enjoy!

Notes

When dipping the body and head in the chocolate, don't leave the cookie pop in it too long or you'll risk detaching the legs.
Use chocolate chips instead of black melting candy.
You can use this pretzels instead of pocky sticks.
