How do you make Halloween Spider Cheesecake Bites?
These little Halloween spider treats are cookies and cream cheesecake bites with an OREO as the crust.
Place 12 foil cupcake liners into a muffin tin.
Combine 6 whole OREO cookies and the 2 tablespoons of whipping cream in a baggie. Shake up the baggie so that the OREOs can soften with the whipping cream.
Take another 6 OREO cookies and remove the icing so you will end up with 12 OREO wafers.
Place one of these OREO wafers into the bottom of each foil cupcake liner.
With an electric mixer combine the cream cheese and sugar.
Next add the vanilla.Slowly add the lightly beaten egg to the mixture. Do not overmix.
Take the baggie with the OREOs and whipping cream as they should be soft enough to mash up completely.
Once it is mashed with just a few larger pieces, add it to the mixing bowl and gently mix it in with a spatula.
Fill each cupcake liner about 1/2 way with the cream cheese batter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until it’s just a tiny bit jiggly in the center.
Remove from oven and cool for 15-30 minutes and then place in the fridge for about 2 hours.
While the mini cheesecakes are cooling, make the OREO spiders with the remaining 12 OREO cookies.
How to make OREO Spiders
While the cheesecake bites are cooling after baking, I make the OREO spiders. These are so incredibly easy and they come out looking amazing!
Make a small bowl of melted chocolate chips for gluing the eyes on each cookie.
Do this by melting the chocolate chips in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring after each time, until the melted chocolate is smooth. Usually this takes me about a minute for a small bowl.
Take licorice laces and cut them into 6-inch pieces. You’ll need 4 pieces for each spider.
Just simply take the top off the OREO cookie, place the laces down into the icing, and then put the cookie top back on.
Then, using a toothpick like a little brush, use a little melted chocolate chips to glue the eyes on to the top of each cookie.
If you find the top of the OREO wants to pop off, then just add a dab of the melted chocolate chips to the underside of the top cookie, and it’ll stick just fine.
Then, set the OREO spider on top of the mini cheesecake and insert the legs around the sides.
Now you’ve got some spiders holding on to your mini cheesecakes!
