Whether you’re hosting a full blown Halloween party this year or small post trick-or-treating get-together with family, you’ll need a few spooky treats to set the mood. Personally, there’s nothing more creepy to me than hairy legged spiders. These cocoa puffy spider bites are tarantula size and make great additions to Halloween dessert trays.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pretzel twists
  • 1 cup milk or dark dipping chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles
  • 4 TBS butter
  • 2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 cups Cocoa Puffs cereal
  • 1 tube Betty Crocker White Decorating Icing
  • black confetti decorations

Directions

1. Break pretzel twists into thirds so that you have 3 curved sections, removing the inner twist pieces.
2. Melt chocolate in microwave safe cup for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until fully melted.
3. Dip each pretzel “leg” in the chocolate and all excess to drip off.

12. Allow the cereal treat balls to set for 1 hour.
13. Carefully press pretzel spider legs into the cereal treat balls, 4 legs on each side.
14. Using the decorating icing, make two large dots for eyes and add a black confetti decoration to each center.
