Main Ingredients
- 8 chocolate mini donuts
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 24 pretzel twists
- 16 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the pretzels: Carefully break the pretzel twists into pieces so that each piece has a curve to resemble spider legs. You will need 8 pretzel pieces per donut.
- Attach spider legs: Attach four pretzel pieces on each side of every mini donut to create the spider’s legs.
- Melt the chocolate chips: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until fully melted, stirring in between to smooth the chocolate.
- Pipe melted chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag and cut off the tip to create a small opening.
- Add the candy eyes: Pipe two small dots of melted chocolate on top of each donut where you want the eyes, then press two candy eyes onto the chocolate and let it harden to secure the eyes in place.
- Serve: Allow the chocolate to set, then enjoy your spider donuts immediately or store them in an airtight container overnight to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Use sturdy pretzels with curves for the spider legs for a better look and hold.
- You can substitute candy eyes with small chocolate chips if unavailable.
- Melt chocolate carefully to avoid burning; stirring frequently helps.
- Store spider donuts in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- These treats are best enjoyed the same day for optimal texture and taste but can be kept overnight.
