Ingredients

  • 250g dark chocolate
  • 100g peanut butter
  • 3 apples
  • 36 pretzel sticks
  • White ready-to-roll icing
  • Black writing icing (optional)

Step by step

  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Slice each apple into 6 discs, to give 18 slices. Spread each with peanut butter.

    Halve 36 pretzel sticks (we used Lajkonik brand), and place 8 ‘legs’ onto half the apple slices. Place a cocktail stick or lolly stick down the centre of each, sticking out from the spider’s body to act as a handle. Sandwich with the remaining apple slices, peanut butter-side down.

    Spoon the melted chocolate over the apple slices and pretzel stick legs to coat and place on a baking paper-lined tray to set. 

    Roll 18 small balls of white ready-to-roll icing and stick on to form the spiders’ eyes. Dot with the remaining melted dark chocolate or black writing icing to give the pupils, then leave to set.
