Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 pieces mini pretzel sticks
- 12 pieces round chocolate candies (like malted milk balls)
- 24 pieces candy eyes
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth.
Dip one end of each pretzel stick into the melted chocolate and arrange them in pairs, laying them flat on the lined baking sheet to resemble spider legs (two pairs per spider).
Press a round chocolate candy in the center of each pair of pretzel legs, using a small dollop of melted chocolate as glue to hold it in place.
Using a toothpick or piping bag, apply a tiny amount of melted chocolate to the back of each candy eye and attach two eyes to each chocolate candy ‘body’.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and hardened.
Remove the Spooky Spiders from the fridge and carefully peel them off the parchment paper. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool place.
