Spine-Chilling Chocolate Spiders
Free Halloween Recipe
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The sight of a creepy crawly spider sends tingles of shock and fear
through just about everybody I know, including myself!
With these sweet, gangly spidery treats, everyone will love the feeling of being the
one with the power over the spiders THIS time, as the decision is carefully made whether to begin chomping
on the spiders' heads or "back sides" -- or maybe even devour the terrible (but tasty) creatures as great
big, succulent, single morsels!
This is a fun and easy Halloween recipe that is tons
of fun to make with the kiddies. Obviously, supervise well and be careful that no one gets burned with the hot dish
and chocolate.
