Spider cakes

We thought although these are bad for the diet, we would try and make these yummy spider cakes for a halloween party.

What we need:
200g dark chocolate
30g unsalted butter
30g golden syrup
75g rice crispies
Packet of mini chocolate fingers
Chocolate icing
Packet of mini smarties

What we did:
First we broke up the chocolate into a saucepan, then added the butter and syrup before heating on the stove.

  

Once the chocolate had melted we added in the rice crispies and mixed well.

Then we placed the mixture into 12 cake cases and added the mini fingers as the spiders legs (we only added 4 legs per spider as there was no more room for more!) and place in the fridge for at least 2hrs.

Once they are completely hard take them out of the cases and turn over.  Add a small amount of chocolate icing to secure 2 mini smarties as eyes.

Then enjoy...
