HEY. are YOU looking at ME?

Hehe. These little guys are so stinking adorable. I call them spiders but, yeah I know, they don’t have eight legs so call them bugs if you wish.

They’re too cute to be creepy and they were super fun to decorate with my boy. This was one craft that he actually did get into. We used store-bought googly eyes but next time I’m going to try to make my own. We used a bunch of little straight pretzels, chocolate chips, m&ms, coconut, and chocolate chips. Oh, and sprinkles of course because rainbow sprinkles rock my world.

I used a simple chocolate cake recipe, scooped it into tiny muffin tins and baked.

Normally for chocolate frosting I use cocoa powder + powdered sugar but this time I used chocolate chips + powdered sugar so once I dipped them the chocolate hardened once it cooled so the spiders stayed together a little better as we poked and prodded them with their eyes and legs.

These were too cute not to share so we had to pass them to friends in the neighborhood!
