DIRECTIONS:

- Melt about a cup of dark chocolate candy melts and spoon them into a ziplock. Clip the corner and pipe a spiral on the top of each cupcake. Use a knife or toothpick to pull from the center out through the spiral, making a web design. If you need some visual aids click here.
- Set one malted milk ball on the center of each cupcake.
- Get ready for your guests to smile at these cute little spiders!
My thoughts: I’m not going to lie…these are adorable, but they are some extra effort. If you are planing a fun Halloween party and you have time to mess around with piping chocolate eyes you will love this recipe– but if you need something quick I’d hold off on this. I would do this again in a second- it was fun and relaxing to decorate these and I love how cute they are– can’t wait to serve them!!! Hope you have fun!!!! r-
