Cooking Games: Chocolate Spiders


A great Halloween cooking game to play this year as you prepare for the season of ghouls and ghosts is to make chocolate spiders. Here’s how to play:

Gather Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
  • 200 grams of Baking Chocolate
  • 1 Package of Chow Mein Noodles
  • Chocolate chips

Get Started!
Break the noodles into smaller sized pieces and put them aside. Take the peanut butter and baking chocolate and place it in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave the two on high for 30 seconds. Continue microwaving in 5 second increments until the chocolate is melted.

Stir the melted mixture well and then stir in the chow mein noodles. Gently stir the noodles into the mix until they are well coated with chocolate.

Scoop out a spoonful of “spider” and place it on a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper. On each spider, use two chocolate chips to create eyes.

Place the spiders in the fridge to set. When the chocolate has hardened, your spiders are complete. Put them in a special Halloween bowl or on a tray for your guests to enjoy.
