- candy eyes
- mini-pretzel twists
- milk chocolate chips or brown chocolate melts

Tips and Tricks for Making these Halloween Spiders:
- you’ll only need a small amount of chocolate melted for the spiders
- any chocolate you don’t melt can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks
- toothpicks are great tools when working with melted chocolate. Dip toothpicks into chocolate and use that to dab chocolate onto the treat as glue
- store chocolate treats at room temperature for up to three days
- wax paper is a great way to protect work surfaces, as chocolate will not stick to it
Reese’s Pumpkin Spider Halloween Treats
Equipment
- toothpick
Ingredients
- 1 Reese’s Peanut Butter pumpkins
- 2 candy eyes
- 4 pretzel twists mini
- 1 oz. milk chocolate chips or brown chocolate melts
Instructions
- break curved sections off of the pretzel twists – you'll need 8 sectons per spider
- melt chocolate chips or chocolate melts
- *to melt chocolate chips or melts, place it into a microwave-safe – glass bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. If needed, microwave for 30 more seconds
- using a toothpick, dip it into the melted chocolate
- dab some melted chocolate onto the front of the pumpkin – nearest the stem
- add some melted chocolate to the side of the pumpkin and attach 4 curved pretzel pieces
- repeat on the other side of the pumpkin
- let the chocolate dry and set up – before moving
Notes
- the chocolate melts will dry to nice hard chocolate that is easier to move around. Milk chocolate stays somewhat soft and the spider will be a little bit fragile, so be careful when moving it.
- store chocolate spiders in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
