We are going to make only the oreo spiders for my grandaughter's school halloween carnival. All of the children in the classroom are going to join in and will be a class project.

I had a hard time finding the licorice so I bought licorice wheels, unrolled them, and cut them. They were curled on the ends which made a neat effect.

The cupcake part was good but there was no way to make the spiders. I just put the candy I would have used for the eyes on top and that was fine.

Good luck finding the black pull apart licorice, the only place I saw it was online and it was spendy. We tried red licorice and it just looked awful.

This is the second time I have made this for my daughter's Halloween class and it is a hit everytime. I agree with most of the posts, it's hard to find the pull-a-way black licorice, so I opted for the chocolate licorice. I cut one in half with scissors, then cut that piece for a thinner and smaller piece. I know that takes some time, but it works perfectly for the spider legs!

I can't believe anybody thought that this recipe was easy, the cupcakes turned out good but trying to do those spiders were a nightmare. We tried what a few comments said to do to make it easier and none of them worked! WE WILL NEVER TRY THESE AGAIN!!!!!

Made this for lunch at my doll club . Everyone thought they were really cute and good. Had hard time finding black licorice but i did . I took one side of cookie off and pressed the legs into the white stuffing and then put it back on . worked great for me . we all had fun with them.
