Number Of Ingredients 4

8 large black gumdrops
8 Crows black licorice drops
16 white nonpareils
8 black licorice laces, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Cut a sliver off top of each gumdrop to expose sticky interior. Repeat with black licorice drops. Gently press cut side of 1 gumdrop (body) onto cut side of 1 black licorice drop (head). Repeat.
  • Using a skewer, poke 2 shallow holes into each licorice-drop head for eyes, and poke 8 shallow holes (4 on each side) into each gumdrop body for legs. Gently press 1 nonpareil into each eye hole. Cut a small slit in the midpoint of each licorice lace, being careful not to cut all the way through, to create joints on legs. Insert 1 licorice leg into each hole in body.

I'm not a big fan of candy, but these candy spiders were actually really good. They're the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

The candy spiders were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as cute as I hoped. Maybe I'll try again next year.
