35 minutes total

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dark (or milk) chocolate flavored melting wafers (+ more as needed)
  • 22 pecan shortbread cookies
  • 22 milk chocolate truffles
  • Toothpicks
  • 22 miniature marshmallows
  • 1 (0.88 oz) package candy eyeballs
  • 1 (0.67 oz) tube black (or red) writing gel

Steps

    1. Melt wafers following package instructions. Arrange cookies on flat work surface. Dip bottoms of truffles into melted wafers and place dipped-side down on cookies, leaving space for rest of spider. Let stand until coating is set.
    2. Push toothpick one-fourth into 1 marshmallow, then dip into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Press coated marshmallow gently against truffle to form spider head; remove toothpick. Press candy eyeballs into chocolate on marshmallow. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and eyeballs; let dry completely.
    3. Create spider legs with writing gel. Serve.

    Chef's Tip: Miniature peanut butter cups can be used in place of the truffles.
