Here is  great treat idea that is simple to make at home or for a school party.

INGREDIENTS
 
Black string licorice or straight pretzels
20  creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreo has orange filled for Halloween)
1 can chocolate ready-to-spread frosting (I like to put this in an icing bag so it is easy for kids to squeeze.  If you don't have an icing bag you can use a plasic freezer bag that seals.  clip 1 end to squirt frosting.  It helps to use a rubber band at the top of the bag to keep the frosting from squeezing out the top.)
40 miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces (green colored eyes are my favorite)

DIRECTIONS
  • For each cookie, cut eight 1 1/2-inch pieces of licorice for legs. Insert 4 pieces into each side of each cookie. (you can substitute pretzels here)
  • With frosting, attach 2 miniature chocolate pieces to top of each cookie for eyes. If desired, pipe a design with frosting on back of each spider cookie. (piping looks really cool in white or colored icing...you can also add sprinkles, etc. if you want more decoration).

Have fun with this 8 legged treat!
