Ingredients for Spider Web S’mores
To keep things simple, here’s everything you’ll need for this festive, no-bake Halloween snack. Most of it you probably already have in the pantry.
Basic Ingredients:
- 10 graham cracker squares
- 10 tablespoons marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme)
- 2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
Optional but Fun Extras:
- Candy decorations: gummy spiders, candy eyeballs, Halloween sprinkles
- White chocolate or orange frosting (for contrast webs or double webs)
- Disposable chocolate piping bag (or zip-top bag with snipped corner)
This list is flexible. You can double or triple it if you’re serving a crowd, or just make a few for yourself and a scary movie marathon.
How to Make Spider Web S’mores (Step-by-Step)
This is where the magic happens. No fire, no mess—just chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and a bit of creativity. Here’s how to make Spider Web S’mores like a pro, even if you’ve never piped anything in your life.
Step 1: Set up your s’more station
Lay out your graham crackers on a flat surface or baking tray lined with parchment paper. You’re about to get artsy, so make sure everything’s ready to go.
Step 2: Spread the marshmallow fluff
Scoop a tablespoon of marshmallow fluff onto each graham cracker square. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to smooth it out evenly. This fluffy base will be the canvas for your chocolate spider webs.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate
Break your unsweetened baking chocolate into pieces and melt it using a double boiler over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent burning. You want it smooth and glossy.
Pro tip: You can microwave it in short bursts (15–20 seconds), but be super careful. Burnt chocolate smells like disappointment.
Step 4: Cool and fill the piping bag
Let the chocolate cool for a minute or two—just enough that it won’t run everywhere. Then pour it into your chocolate piping bag or a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.
Step 5: Pipe spider webs on the fluff
This is the fun part. Pipe your chocolate in a spider web design: start in the center of each cracker and draw outwards in a spiral, adding connecting lines to create that web look. Don’t stress about perfection—wonky webs still look great.
Want to go the extra mile? Add a little chocolate blob for a spider, and pipe out eight tiny legs. Or stick on a candy spider and call it a day.
Step 6: Add decorations
Now’s the time to bring in the Halloween candy decorations. Press on edible eyeballs, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles, or even drop a candy corn in the middle for a spooky pop of color.
Step 7: Chill and serve
Pop the tray into the fridge for about 5–10 minutes. This helps the chocolate set so it doesn’t smear. Once they’re firm, serve them up on a platter, tray, or spooky serving board.

Cook’s Notes: Tips, Substitutions, and Variations
Let me just say this—Spider Web S’mores are basically the blank canvas of Halloween desserts. You can keep it simple or get wildly creative. Here are a few ideas from the kitchen chaos we call “trial and error.”
Fun Variations:
- Toasted top: If you want that traditional toasty flavor, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the marshmallow fluff before adding the chocolate web. Adult supervision recommended!
- Colorful webs: Swap in melted white chocolate or orange candy melts for the web to add contrast or stick with the classic spooky black (aka dark chocolate).
- Different bases: Try using chocolate wafer cookies, Ritz crackers for a salty-sweet combo, or even Oreo halves.
- Peanut butter twist: Add a thin layer of peanut butter under the marshmallow for a Reese’s-like upgrade.
- Bloody web: Use a streak of red icing across the white fluff for a gory effect—perfect for older kids or Halloween parties.
Allergy-Friendly Tips:
- Use gluten-free graham crackers
- Substitute dairy-free chocolate for vegan s’mores
- Marshmallow fluff is typically egg-free, but check the label if allergies are a concern
Whatever direction you go, remember: spooky doesn’t have to be stressful.
