Description
No-bake Halloween spiders made with chocolate-dipped blackberries, blueberry heads, piped chocolate legs, and candy eyes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 large fresh blackberries, rinsed and dried completely
- 20 fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried completely, plus a few extra
- 2 cups chocolate melting wafers
- 40 candy eyes
Equipment: Piping bag or zip-top bag, parchment paper, and a baking sheet or tray
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, or over a double boiler, until smooth.
- Pour some of the chocolate into a small bowl for dipping. Spoon the rest into a piping bag or a zip-top bag and snip a very small opening in the corner, so the chocolate doesn’t come out too fast.
- Dip half of each blackberry into the chocolate and set it on the parchment. Using the chocolate as glue, stick a blueberry to the stem end of each blackberry for the head.
- Pipe a tiny dot of chocolate onto each blueberry and attach 2 candy eyes. Then pipe 8 legs out from the body of each spider, 4 on each side.
- Let the chocolate harden completely, about 15 minutes in the refrigerator, before lifting the spiders off the parchment.
- Use the spiders to garnish a cheese board or dessert or serve them on their own as a festive snack.
