Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 grams Crunchy chow mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles or candy eyes (optional, for decoration)
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Break the milk chocolate and dark chocolate into small pieces, and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Set up a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a few inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Place the bowl of chocolate over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Stir the chocolate frequently until it is fully melted and smooth. Add the butter and peanut butter (if using) to the melted chocolate, and stir until well combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and allow the chocolate to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Add the chow mein noodles to the melted chocolate mixture, gently folding until all the noodles are evenly coated.
Using two spoons, scoop out portions of the chocolate-coated noodles and place them onto the prepared baking tray, shaping them into small spider-like mounds.
If desired, decorate the 'spiders' with sprinkles or candy eyes before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the tray for about 30 minutes, or until the Chocolate Spiders are firm and set.
Once set, remove the spiders from the tray and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
