Serves: 8 to 12 cookies | Time: 15 minutes | Type: No-bake decorate

This week's posts we give Chef Jordan a break. This recipe comes to you from Mehar and Ravneet with minimal cooking experience. Amazing for beginners!

Spooky snack, zero stress

We wanted a fast treat that looks party-level without any baking. Enter Reese’s Creepers. Start with any cookie, add a mini Reese’s cup for the body, pipe chocolate legs, and pop on candy eyes. They are cute, a little creepy, and gone in minutes.

Ingredients

Any cookies you like. We used chocolate chips!
Mini Reese’s cups
Reese’s candy gems or candy eyeballs
Chocolate chips for melting
Optional sprinkles or flaky salt

How to make them

Set up: Place cookies on a tray. Unwrap mini cups.
Melt chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips in 20 to 30 second bursts. Stir until smooth.
Pipe the legs: Spoon melted chocolate into a zip bag. Snip a tiny corner. Pipe eight legs on each cookie in a star shape.
Add the body: Press a mini Reese’s cup in the centre while the chocolate is soft.
Add the eyes: Dot a little chocolate on the cup and stick on candy eyes or gems.
Chill and serve: Set in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes. Plate and enjoy.

Flavourtown notes

Warm cookies for 20 to 30 seconds so the cup bonds better
A pinch of flaky salt makes the chocolate pop
No piping bag? Use a toothpick to drag chocolate into the legs
Nut-free swap? Use a plain chocolate bite for the body

DWJ Sustainability spotlight

Leftover Halloween candy becomes spider eyes. Day-old cookies become the base. Save and rinse candy wrappers where local programs accept soft plastic recycling.

Mehar’s mini review

“These are the quickest crowd trick I know. Five ingredients, maximum drama. I named one Gobble. Then I gobbled Gobble.”

Ravneet’s mini review

“Assembly line energy. Minimal effort, high reward. Legs neat, eyes slightly unhinged. Approve.”
