It is finally October, and that means Halloween! This Halloween, impress your friends with these adorable, yet spooky spider oreo pops!

Spider Oreo Pops (Makes: 20-25 pops)
Ingredients and Materials:
1 package of Oreos
12 ounces of milk chocolate chips
48 edible candy eyeballs
1 bag of pretzel sticks
Milk
Lollipop sticks

Instructions:
1. Line a large tray with parchment paper and set aside. Gently twist the oreos apart.
2. Separate the milk chocolate chips into 3 bowls (to keep it from getting hard). Place each section in a microwave safe bowl.
3. Add about ½ teaspoon of milk (add more if you need to thin it more).
4. Microwave the chocolate chips for 20 seconds and stir for 20 seconds. Repeat until it is fully melted. Stir well to avoid burning the chocolate.
5. Press the lollipop stick into the cream side of the oreo. Break the pretzel sticks in half and put 4 pieces on each side.
6. Place the other half of the oreo on top and gently hold down. Allow time to harden.
7. Gently pour melted chocolate over the oreos (try to avoid getting it on the pretzels).
8. Place two edible eyes into the melted chocolate and place the finished oreos onto the parchment paper tray. Allow to harden at room temperature and enjoy!
