Creepy, crawly little devils that are sure to spook even the heartiest of your guests this Halloween! But not to worry--these spiders taste really good themselves! Enjoy them alone, or use them to decorate a festive cake or cupcakes!
Ingredients
1 10oz package bright green candy wafers
1 3oz can rice noodles, found in the Chinese food aisle
3/4 cup shredded coconut
about 75 red hot cinnamon candies, 2 for each candy
wax paper, 2 forks
In a large bowl, melt candy wafers according to package directions. When candy wafers are completely melted, gently fold in coconut and rice noodles; make sure that the coconut and rice noodles are well covered with the bright green candy coating.
Using 2 forks, drop about two tablespoons of candy onto wax paper. Fluff up candy with both forks to give the impression of legs. Place two cinnamon red hots on each candy for eyes. Repeat for remaining candy mixture.
Allow candies to cool. Store spiders in a cool place, covered, for up to two weeks.
Yield: about 35 candies
