Recipes

1. Break the pretzel sticks in half if you would like to have your spiders has shorter legs. I have one big hot chocolate cup, so I left the "spider legs" long for that one.
2. Melt the melting chocolate according to the directions on the package, add in a teaspoon of coconut oil to make it a bit more "liquidy", this will make it easier to spoon the chocolate over the "legs" and "body" of the spider.
3. Dip each pretzel stick end into the melted chocolate, then push it into the marshmallow. You aren't covering the whole pretzel at this time, just enough to push it into the marshmallow. The chocolate helps the legs stay in.
4. Once your "spider" has 6-8 legs, set it aside so that it can dry. Once dry, you can spoon the chocolate over the marshmallow and pretzels sticks. I used a fork to hold the marshmallow, but you can use your fingers. To use a fork, place the marshmallow on the prongs of the fork.
5. You may have to use the back on the spoon to smooth the chocolate over the whole spider. Don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect!
6. Once your marshmallow and pretzel legs is coated give your spider some eyes! We added 3 eyes, we felt that was spookier ????
7. Top with sprinkles if desired.
8. Allow them to dry before serving them onto top of your Halloween Hot Chocolate.
