Creepy Crawly Spider Treat
Creepy Crawly Spider Brownies!
Halloween is all about eerie, weird, and creepy things. Incorporating this theme into some trick-or-treat snacks is easy with a few ingredients and a little imagination. We made Creepy Crawly Spider Brownies with a number of different legs and colored eyes.
Ingredients
- 1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups crispy chow mien noodles
- 18 candy eyeballs
Directions
- Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions using an 8-in.-square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Remove 1 tablespoon melted chocolate to a small bowl; reserve for attaching eyes. Add noodles to remaining chocolate; stir gently to coat. Spread onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, separating noodles slightly. Freeze until set.
- Cut nine brownies with a 2-1/4-in. round cutter for spider bodies. Attach eyeballs using reserved melted chocolate. With a bamboo skewer or toothpick, poke eight holes in top of each spider for inserting legs. Insert a coated noodle into each hole. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 9 brownie spiders.
Happy Halloween!
