How to Make Spiderweb Crunch

  1. In a small, heavy-duty saucepan, melt 12 ounces of chocolate morsels and ¾ cup of peanut butter over low heat, stirring constantly until completely smooth.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in ½ cup granulated sugar vigorously until completely smooth and combined.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.
  5. Add 1 cup of the melted chocolate mixture to the cereal and stir gently until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the coated cereal to an ungreased baking sheet and use a small metal spatula to shape it into a 10-inch circle with a slightly raised 1-inch-wide border.
  7. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture into the center of the circle.
  8. Spread the remaining chocolate mixture evenly to the edge of the cereal border.
  9. For the spiderweb: Place the remaining ¼ cup of peanut butter into a small, heavy-duty plastic bag.
  10. Snip a tiny corner off the bag.
  11. Pipe concentric circles of peanut butter onto the top of the chocolate, creating a spiderweb design.
  12. Use a wooden pick or toothpick to create thinner lines within the concentric circles, enhancing the spiderweb effect.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the candy is firm.
  14. Cut into wedges and serve. Enjoy!
