Servings 12 spiders

Ingredients
  

  • 12 mini chocolate donuts store-bought or homemade
  • 48 thin pretzel sticks 8 per donut for legs
  • 24 candy eyes
  • 2 tablespoons melted chocolate or frosting as glue

Instructions
 

  • Prepare donuts: Place mini chocolate donuts on a serving tray or parchment-lined surface.
  • Add legs: Break pretzel sticks in half. Insert 4 on each side of the donut to make spider legs.
  • Attach eyes: Use melted chocolate or frosting to glue two candy eyes onto the front.
  • Set & serve: Let chocolate “glue” firm up, then serve these spooky-cute spiders at your party!

Notes

  • Use white powdered donuts and black gel frosting for albino or ghostly spiders.
  • Swap pretzel sticks for black licorice ropes if you want softer legs.
  • Store-bought frosting works fine as glue—no melting required.
