Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 15 mini pretzels (approx)
  • 1 oz dark chocolate (30g)
  • 4 rolos (or other small candy)
  • 1 tsp white chocolate (approx)

Instruction

  • Set aside 4 pretzels on a lined baking sheet or silicone mat, on top of a baking sheet with a bit of space between them.
  • Break the 'loops' off the other pretzels so that you end up with 6 roughly even 'legs' for each of the four spiders.
  • Melt the dark chocolate (either in a bowl over a bowl/small pot of boiling water or in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until melted).
  • With a small spoon carefully fill the gaps in the 4 pretzels you set aside. Put a little extra chocolate on top and stick a rolo onto each one (I found it needed to be upside down/narrow end down to allow for legs).
  • Press the ends of the pretzel 'legs' into the chocolate you have used to fill the gaps so they sit roughly evenly (see photos). Drizzle over a little extra chocolate to help the rolo and legs stay in place. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, a few minutes.
  • Melt the white chocolate and use the end of a cocktail stick or a prong from a fork to dab two eyes on each spider. Chill again to harden.
