How to Make Spooky Spiders

  1. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler or saucepan over low heat.
  2. Stir in 1 cup chow mein noodles and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as peanuts or pecans) until the noodles and nuts are evenly coated with melted chocolate.
  3. Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper, leaving space between each spider.
  4. Immediately press two mini pretzel sticks into the top of each chocolate mound to create spider legs.
  5. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
  6. Remove from the refrigerator and store loosely covered in a cool, dry place.
