Spider Cupcakes

I found the idea for the spider cupcakes on the Family Fun website.


Ingredients:

Chocolate cupcake (body)
Canned chocolate icing
Chocolate sprinkles (hair)
2 pieces of eye-type candy (I used spice drops & chocolate chips- Family Fun used Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts)
Clean scissors
Ruler
1 package of black string lace licorice for the legs (I used black pipe cleaners because I couldn't find the right licorice)

1. Frost the cupcake with chocolate icing and cover with sprinkles. 2. Press the eyes into place. 3. Use scissors to cut eight 4-inch pieces of licorice for the legs. Holding all of the legs together in a bunch, bend them in half and crease. Push the end of each leg into the cupcake as shown.
