Ingredient list

3 OREO Cookies
3 small candy spiders

Directions

Twist the top and bottom halves of each cookie in opposite directions to separate the cookie halves, leaving all the creme on one half of each cookie.

Draw the outline of a spiderweb lightly in the creme using a toothpick or wooden skewer.

Freeze 5 min.

Use a small metal spatula, clean flat-sided paint brush or toothpick to carve out the creme from the lines of the spiderweb as shown in photo. Carefully remove the excess creme, then reserve for later use.

Use some of the reserved creme to attach the candy spiders to the cookies.

Recipe Tips

Hints on Twisting the Cookies Apart
Twist the cookies apart gently in a back-and-forth motion to release one cookie half from the creme. Or, you can use a small metal spatula to scrape the creme close to one half of the cookie. Any creme remaining on the plain cookie halves can be spread onto the creme-topped cookie halves. If desired, you can scrape off and discard any creme smudges with the spatula, skewer or toothpick.
Make it Easier
Use different sizes of round pastry tips to easily create the curved lines in the spiderweb before removing the excess creme as directed. Or to make it easier, use black gel or icing to draw the spiderweb lines on the icing instead of scraping off the icing as directed in recipe.
Special Extra
After carving the spiderwebs, press the cookie halves, creme sides down, into white, orange or purple colored sugar. Gently shake the cookies to remove any excess sugar.
