Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups cocoa krispies
  • 14 oz mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips divided
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 36 small pretzel sticks
  • 24 candy eyes
  • 1 pouch chocolate cookie decorating icing

Instructions

  •  In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter, butter and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until mixture is smooth. 
  • Add in the marshmallows and microwave for 1 minutes. Stir until thoroughly combined. 
  • Pour the cereal over and use a spatula to fold together until the cereal is evenly covered with marshmallow mixture. Set aside to cool slightly. 
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  • Spray hands with cooking spray. Pull off a lime-sized amount of cereal mixture and shape into a flattened oval. Repeat with remaining cereal. 
  • Stick 6-8 pretzel sticks into sides of oval for spider legs. Use cookie frosting to attach eyes to front of body. 
  • Lay out prepared spider bodies on cookie sheets lined with wax or parchment paper. Snip off the corner of your chocolate bag (if using) and pipe a line of chocolate along the top of the pretzel sticks. Place in refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes.
