Quick N Easy to make, these little BUGGERS are GREAT for your next Halloween Party! Kids love these yummy treats, but don't think the adults won't like them, because they are a hit with both young and old! Serving size varies, depending on how big you make the spiders, and how many of the noodles you use along with the chocolate.

1 batch spiders (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 (5 ounce) can la choy chow mein noodles (may not need all of them)
  • M&M's plain chocolate candies, for the eyes

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt chocolate chips in microwave. Check after 1 minute to make sure they don't start burning. Stir, then put back in for 20 sec. intervals until completely melted.
  2. 2
    Stir in Chow Mein noodles. Keep adding noodles until you think you have enough to cover all with chocolate.
  3. 3
    Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.
  4. 4
    Add 2 M&M's on top of noodles, for spider eyes.
  5. 5
    Note: Add 2-4 T water, if needed, to thin chocolate chips.

Very fun for Halloween. With my first batch I should have added more chow mein noodles - even though they were really good they looked like chocolate blobs instead of spiders. The next batch turned out much better and they were a hit at the party. Thanks for sharing!

    Cute, fun and easy! I am trying to use up what I have in the cupboard and I had just about 5 oz of chow main noodles, so this worked out well. My girls thought they were adorable and they taste good too! I have a suggestion though--I wouldn't add water to the chocolate chips--that will make them seize up and you will have a big, huge mess. I would use shortening to thin the chocolate. Start out with 1-2 tsp. and add up to about 1 TBS. Most of the time if I want to dip stuff in chocolate, I have to add a bit of shortening. Thanks for a cute, sweet recipe! KCShell

    The kids AND adults were actually fighting over these at the Halloween party last year! I have put them in my recipe box as a permanant Halloween KEEPER! This is a tradition my kids are going to love!
