Spider cupcakes
There’s nothing I hate more than spiders. Hm. Maybe polka dots. I HATE polka dots. Oh and bananas. Hate those too…anyway – spiders creep me out. And even when I was making these I felt a little bit of the heebie jeebies. Yikes.
ingredients:
chocolate cupcakes
chocolate frosting
2 cups Oreos, crushed
black Gumdrops
Black licorice laces
I like to give the spider a little ‘dirt’ base to sit on. So…
To start, take the 2 cups of Oreos, place them in a bag and smash them to bits…Sure you can use a food processor but why when you can SMASH. COOKIES. LIKE. HULK.
Take your frosted cupcakes and dip them into the crushed Oreos, pressing them down so it looks like dirt. Deliciously chocolately dirt.
For the spider’s legs cut the licorice laces into 4-inch pieces. You’ll need four of them – so that when you put the ‘body’ on you’ll have eight legs total.
Lay the pieces across each other, overlapping in the middle, but spreading the ‘legs’ out evenly. I like how the little pumpkins are observing the process in this picture.
Place a little dab of frosting in the middle, then press the black gumdrop right in the center to form the spider’s body.
Is that the freakiest edible long legged spider or what? EW. Totally creeped out now.
