How Long Do Chocolate Spiders Last?
WouterIf you are looking for a fun, festive, and easy to make Halloween treat, consider making a chocolate spider. It’s a crunchy, sweet treat that’s sure to please adults and kids alike. Make a few and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Using the right kind of chocolate will make a huge difference in the texture.
To make your spider, you’ll need a few of the following: black gumdrops in two sizes, mini pretzels, white or milk chocolate, and black decorating gel. You can also use a combination of these. For the legs, you can either use mini licorice strips or Twizzlers.
Choosing the best quality candy to use will help ensure that your lil’ chocolate worms are the most adorable apex predators around. There are many types of candies out there to choose from including mini M&Ms, Whoppers malt balls, and Oreos. Regardless of which candy you decide to use, be sure to put on some plastic gloves for safety. This will prevent the chocolate from melting off your hands, or worse, sticking to your teeth.
The name of the game isn’t actually making a chocolate worm, but rather building a few of the right ones. That is, using the correct ingredients and a bit of patience, you’ll be rewarded with a sprightly, tasty treat. A few of these critters will be enough to satisfy the family, while you can stash the rest in a bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
