Instructions

Notes
Chocolate Melts vs. Milk Chocolate Chips
- 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.
Storing chocolate spiders:
- store chocolate spiders in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
