Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 pieces soft caramels
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 10 pieces pecan halves
- 40 pieces pretzel sticks
- 20 pieces mini candy eyes
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Unwrap the soft caramels and place them into a microwave-safe bowl with the heavy cream and butter.
Microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and arrange the pecan halves to form the spider's body, with each half being the main part of the torso.
Cut the pretzel sticks in half to form 'legs' and arrange 4 halves on each side of the pecan halves to resemble spider legs.
Drizzle a tablespoon of melted caramel over the pecan and pretzel arrangement to hold the pieces together. Let it set and cool for 5 minutes.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk and semisweet chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Using a spoon, coat each caramel nut spider completely with melted chocolate. Smooth out the chocolate with the back of the spoon while maintaining the spider shape.
Place two mini candy eyes on top of the chocolate-covered caramel nut spider while the chocolate is still wet.
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the spiders to set for about 20 minutes or until firm.
Serve your Caramel Nut Brown Recluse Spiders as a fun and delicious dessert for your spooky occasion!
