Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (16.5-ounce) tube peanut butter cookie dough or your favorite homemade peanut butter cookies
- 20 to 24 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- candy eyeballs optional
- 1/2 teaspoon shortening or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the cookies according to package directions. Remove from oven and transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to slightly cool.
- Unwrap the peanut butter cups and gently press in the center of the cookies. Let harden.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and vegetable oil or shortening (if desired; it makes the chocolate a little easier to work with!)
- Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds until chocolate is melted and smooth. Transfer melted chocolate to a plastic bag and cut off the very tip of the bag.
- Pipe “spider legs” onto the cookie starting from the Reese's cup going outward.
- If desired, pipe a little melted chocolate on the back of the edible eye candies and press into the Reese's cup.
