Ingredients
- 5 black licorice laces
- 12 caramels, soft
- 12 California walnut halves
- 5 ounce bar dark chocolate, melted
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles, black
Preparation
- Using a knife or scissors, cut licorice into 1-inch pieces. You will need 8 per spider for a total of 96 pieces. For a more realistic look, cut pieces diagonally to form a pointed end.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- On a parchment lined baking sheet, place 6 caramels evenly spaced apart with one walnut half on top of each caramel. Bake in oven for 3 minutes to slightly melt caramel. Working quickly, push 8 liquorice legs into sides of one caramel to form the legs of the spider. Repeat steps with remaining caramels and walnuts. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, melt chocolate in the microwave on high for three 30-second increments, stirring in between or on a double boiler, then spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of chocolate over the walnuts. Sprinkle chocolate with black sprinkles and let set.
Note: These can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
