    Oreo Stuffed Spider Cupcakes | Fun For Halloween!

    by Mindi Cherry

    Oreo Stuffed Spider Cupcakes Pinterest

    By now you know that I have a serious thing for Oreos, although I rarely eat them plain. I prefer to either make my Oreo Truffles (especially peppermint Oreo Truffles as soon as they peppermint ones come out at Christmas) or coat them in chocolate like for my Oreo Spider Pops. I've even been known to spread some peanut butter on them and stuff them in a cupcake!

    Apparently, I have  become "known" for my Oreo recipes. Just yesterday at church when I was working the hospitality area, I had a few people ask me if I brought in any Oreo Truffles for the buffet (which I usually do on the Sundays I work Hospitality). I guess I know what I am making for next week!

    Anyway - since the peanut butter & Oreo stuffed cupcakes turned out so well, I figured it was time to make another similar recipe! If you don't want an Oreo Spider on top of the cupcake as well as one baked inside the cupcake (or if, for some strange reason you think it is possible to have too many Oreos), you can just make the cupcakes like normal and then follow the directions to make the Oreo Spiders and use them to decorate!

    But seriously - who wouldn't love to bite in to this?

    Ok - let's get to making them (full directions below)

    First things first - mix up the cake mix according to the package directions

    cupcake batter

    Line your cupcake pan with paper liners and fill them halfway with batter. Place an Oreo in the center of the batter and press down slightly. Spoon more batter over the top of the Oreo to cover it completely. Bake according to package directions and allow to cool.

    To make the spiders, we are going to use melted chocolate (the kind you buy in the craft stores) as our "glue". Simply twist open the Oreos and cut your licorice strings in equal lengths (about 4") and press them in to the icing inside the cookie. Pipe a little bit of melted chocolate on top of the licorice and place the top of the cookie back on top. Grab some M&M's and attach them (letter side down) on top of your Spider using more melted chocolate to attach them. Use a drop of chocolate to make the center of the eyes.

    After you have made your spiders, simply whip up your icing, ice the cupcakes and place a spider on top!

    Your kids will love them!
