What You Need

cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows

pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into pieces, melted

pieces black shoestring licorice (12 inch)

assorted miniature round candies

Make It

MIX marshmallows and melted chocolate until marshmallows are completely coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto sheets of wax paper to make 24 clusters for the "bodies" of the "spiders."

CUT each 12-inch piece licorice into 8 pieces. Decorate each spider with 8 pieces of licorice for the "legs" and 2 candies for the "eyes." Let stand at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

STORE in airtight container at room temperature.

I'm sure there is a trick to this, but my marshmallows melted into big globs of goo, but I just plopped them on the wax paper and the looked like chocolate globs. I used chow mein noodles as the legs as they were easier and a little gel on the m&m's for eyeballs. My daughter loved them!

Really cute and yummy, but very messy!!! If you don't mind that, then this recipe is perfect ;o)

I made these creepy spiders with 6 7/8 year olds. Not too messy if properly set up such as the wax paper, legs already cut, and jobs divided for mixing and spooning. This recipe only made 12 "spiders" for me.

It was a fun and easy recipe to make. The kids loved helping. I melted my marshmallows a little bit too much and so my spiders were just smooth globs instead of bumpy marshmallows. But they tasted great anyway!

These turned out cute and the kids seemed to like them ok. I think they would have turned out a little better if I would have let the marshmallows melt just a little before dropping them on the wax paper. They were cute though.

The bakers chocolate hardened way to fast and is is close to impossible to get them to look as good as they are in the photo. But I did add macademia nuts to the mix though and they tasted great.

I used Baker's Chocolate, but I could not get my marshmellows completely covered in chocolate before it started to stiffen, so they were partially white. The "legs" and "eyes" had some trouble staying on also. The spiders themselves tasted pretty good, but mine just didn't look right.
