Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 24 pieces mini pretzel sticks
- 12 pieces round chocolate truffles
- 100 grams chocolate sprinkles
- 24 pieces candy eyes
- 1 roll parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or by microwaving them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Dip each round chocolate truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or skewer to coat it entirely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Roll the coated truffle gently in chocolate sprinkles to create a 'furry' texture. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Break the mini pretzel sticks in half to form spider legs. Carefully stick four pretzel halves into each side of the chocolate truffle to create eight legs per spider.
Using a small dab of melted chocolate, attach two candy eyes to the top of each truffle to complete the spider's face.
Repeat the process for all remaining truffle spiders. Allow the chocolate to set fully at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Once set, arrange the spiders on a serving platter and enjoy these spooky yet tasty Halloween treats!
