How to Make Spooky Halloween Spider Clusters



Enjoy these creepy crawly treats at a Halloween party or just for fun. While they may look frightful, these red-eyed spiders are the perfect ghoulish delight, they'll make your taste buds scream in delight.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup package semisweet chocolate chips 
  • 1/2 cup package peanut butter chips
  • 2 cups chow mien noodles
  • 1/4 cup  red mini M&Ms
Directions:
  1. Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Put the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in a microwave-safe bowl, and melt in the microwave: Heat on high for 60 seconds, and then stir well. If the chocolate isn't smooth enough, continue to heat in two or three 10-second bursts, stirring well after each burst
  3. Stir the chow mien noodles into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture and place tablespoon sized dollops onto the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Press 2 red M&Ms onto one edge of each cluster to make eyes and lift a few chow mien legs up to give them a spidery feel.
  5. Refrigerate to cool and harden for about 20 minutes, and serve chilled. 
  6. For further effect, place spiders on top of spider web cotton candy to look like they are sitting in a web.
