Ingredients

12 ounce package dark chocolate candy coating
1 package black licorice wheels
1 package red gummy berries
Handful of white rice grains
Truffles

Directions

Make a batch of Chef Eddy's chocolate truffles, or use store-bought. If using our recipe, instead of rolling the truffle in cocoa powder, roll it in candy coating to create a hard outside shell.
Cut black licorice wheels into 1.5 inch strips for the legs.
Cut red raspberry gummy candy in half to form eyes. Use candy coating to adhere a small square of licorice for the center of the eye.
On a piece of parchment paper, place a 1/2 inch dot of melted chocolate candy coating. Working quickly, place 4 licorice strips on the right and left side of the dot to form the legs of the spider.
Place a chocolate truffle on top of the chocolate dot for the body of the spider.
Use a small spot of chocolate candy coating to adhere the gummy eyes to your spider.
Place to small grains of white rice under the eyes to form the fangs.
