Start by taking a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper, a pen or marker, and one Oreo cookie. Use the Oreo to trace circles about 3-4 inches apart. (Make sure to toss the cookie afterward if it gets ink on it.)

Draw 8 crab legs and add 2 claws with the pen on the front two legs.

Flip the parchment paper over and place it on a baking sheet.

Place ½ cup of red candy wafers in a piping bag and twist it shut. Microwave on a low or defrost setting until melted and smooth, checking every 30 seconds to ensure even heating. Once melted, let it cool for 3-5 minutes until the bag is cool to the touch; this step is important to prevent spills while piping.

Snip a small tip off the piping bag, trace the crab legs and claws on the prepared parchment paper, and then set aside.

Melt the remaining red candy wafers in a microwave-safe glass bowl on a low or defrost setting, stirring and checking every 30 seconds until smooth.

Take a fork and place an Oreo cookie on top. Dip it completely into the melted red candy and lift it out, tapping the fork against the bowl’s edge to remove excess coating.

Transfer the dipped Oreo directly onto the piped crab legs, working in small batches for easier handling.

Sprinkle the coated Oreos with sprinkles, leaving space at the front for the eyes.

Add the eyeballs toward the front near the claws. You can position them standing on the side or lay them flat. If standing, use some sprinkles behind them for support while they set.

Let the coating set completely before serving. To speed up the process, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
