Halloween Treats for Kids Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Chocolate-covered rice cakes: I use the regular size but you can use mini, too.
- Dark chocolate: For the legs, mouth, and eyes.
- Candy eyes: I use bloody-looking candy eyes and pipe chocolate xโs on them.
- Sprinkle rods: For the fangs. You can swap for flaked almonds or pine nuts.
How to Make Halloween Treats for Kids
- Melt the dark chocolate and add it to a piping bag or tool. Trace around the rice cake on parchment paper.
- Turn over the paper and pipe eight v-shaped legs with half drawn inside the circle and half outside.
- Place the rice cake on top of the legs, chocolate-side facing down. Allow to set.
- Top with candy eyes, a chocolate mouth, and insert two sprinkle rods. Repeat.
Possible Variations
- Rice cakes: Swap for any round cookies or biscuits.
- Dark chocolate: Milk or white chocolate. Or make the legs with licorice rope or chocolate-covered pretzel sticks.
- Candy eyes: Try different sized eyes for extra fun or use round sprinkles.
- Presentation: Instead of making โdeadโ spiders make โliveโ ones using regular candy eyes and curved legs.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep the spiders in an airtight container at room temperature, unless itโs hot where you are and the chocolate will melt, then stick them in the fridge.
FAQs
The rice cake should stay crispy for about 3-4 days.
Pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze to use another day.
Be sure to use parchment paper for easy removal, and be sure not to pipe the legs too thin. If that doesnโt work, you can use pretzel sticks.
