Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the mixture in a double boiler over simmering water.
If desired, stir in peanut butter to the melted chocolate for extra creaminess and flavor.
Add the crunchy chow mein noodles to the melted chocolate mixture and gently fold them in until they are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the coated noodles and arrange them in clusters onto the prepared baking tray to resemble spider bodies.
If you'd like to add candy eyes, gently press them onto the clusters before the chocolate sets.
Allow the chocolate spiders to cool and harden completely. You can speed up this process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Once set, carefully remove the chocolate spiders from the parchment paper and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
