I bought a bag of sea salt chocolate candy corn a couple of weeks ago because I thought the color might be fun for some kind of Halloween treat… but at the time I didn’t know what. Well after staring at the bag long enough I finally decided on spiders this past Sunday and made these creepy crawling chocolate cookies.
I love the look of this candy corn. The slight color variation in the brown and the white tips make awesome spider leg details.
Okay let’s make some cookies. Grab flour, sugar, cocoa, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, salt and milk chocolate morsels.
Once you have the cookie dough ready, scoop and roll into 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 inch balls.
When baked, they are the cutest little 2-inch mounded cookies and soooooooo soooooooo good. I highly recommend eating a few while they are still warm…
And if you want to turn them into spiders, then follow the instructions below.
First prepare the legs. Just dip the bottom of a candy corn in melted chocolate candy coating and then attach to the large side of another candy corn. Hold in place a few seconds and set down on wax paper to dry completely. You’ll need 16 pieces to make 8 spider legs for one cookie. But if you want to save a little time and go for 6-legged spiders I won’t tell.
When you have all the legs you need ready to go, then dip the white end of the short part of the spider leg into more melted candy coating and very gently press into a cookie just enough to hold the leg in place while it dries. Don’t press so hard that you break the legs. Repeat for all 8 legs and let dry before moving.
Attach two white M&M’s candies in position for eyes with melted candy coating and let dry.
Now spoon a small amount of the candy coating on top of the spider’s back. Use a toothpick if needed to coerce the coating around in a circle and make sure it touches the legs that are already attached. This will give them a little more support.
Before the chocolate dries, cover with Chocolate Crunch Sprinkles.
When dry, turn upside down and shake off any of the excess sprinkles.
Now all that’s left is dotting the eyes. Use a black edible-ink writing pen to draw on the M&M’s.
P.S. If you want simpler spiders that are a little sweeter than they are creepy, then just turn the candy corn pieces on their sides and attach to the cookies with melted candy coating. It also helps to break off a little bit of the tips so they aren’t as pointed where the candies meet the cookie.
*I found the Sea Salt Chocolate Candy Corn made by Brach’s at Walgreen’s. The 15 oz bag had enough candies to make a dozen creepy crawling spiders or two dozen cute spiders.

A Great Snack for Dinner Parties, While Halloween Designs are Awesome to Serve Kids as well as Adults. Thank You For Sharing this Recipe. Photos are Looking Good.
They are super cute! Not sure if I’d be weirded out by putting a spider in my mouth though … ? ?
Loved these when I saw them and had to make them. My cookies turned out a little flat, so I used a circle cookie cutter to get the right shape. Also, I live in Canada and I wasn’t able to find the salted caramel candy corn, so I had to use the regular candy corn. All in all they turned out great and tasted amazing.
I feel like your not blogging that much anymore :(
Love these! But does that sea salt candy corn quantity make that many spiders if one happens to eat half the candy corn while making them?? Ha, ha!
Love it! My kids will love it!
Why can’t I be this clever? I would never in a million years think of using those candies as spider legs…
Would love to make these for the school bake sale but…is there a good substitute to putting the peanut butter in there? The school is “nut free”.
Awesome!
SO creative! I love the little detail of the sprinkles on the spider and also how they stand up like actual sliders.
Very cute and as always, extremely original. Thanks for sharing yourself with us!!!
Those are so awesome! I love them! You are so creative!
Awesome!
Spiders always give me the creeps, but these are adorable! Thank you for sharing these cuties!
I don’t usually like spiders, but I love these. These look so chocolatey good!
OMG those are so cute :D
Ohhh creepy and cute – perfect! I’m not a big fan of spiders but these look alright to me ;)
And I love chocolate so I’m sure I’ll be alright! Love the creativity, great share!
Adorable and for Halloween lovers, spider lovers
and non spider lovers.
