Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 150 grams Crunchy chow mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (optional)
- 20 pieces Candy eyes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
If desired, stir in peanut butter to the melted chocolate for extra creaminess and flavor.
Step 4
Add the crunchy chow mein noodles to the melted chocolate mixture and gently fold them in until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
If you'd like to add candy eyes, gently press them onto the clusters before the chocolate sets.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
