Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
- 5-6 Tablespoons butter
- 10 oz. bag of marshmallows may also use a 12-ounce bag
- 32 thin pretzels
- 32 edible candy eyeballs
- brown gel food coloring optional
Instructions
- Cut part of the thin pretzel knots to make curved legs for the spiders.
- Prepare a flat surface with wax or parchment paper.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Stir in a few drops of brown food coloring if a dark brown spider color is desired.
- Remove pot from heat and add Cocoa Krispies, gently stirring until they are well coated.
- Coat your hands in non-sticking cooking spray or butter. Scoop out about ¼ cup of the mixture at a time and roll / press in your hands to form a ball. Set balls on prepared surface.
- Press 2 eyes into the front of each ball.
- For each spider, use 4 pretzel curves to create the legs. Use a toothpick or skewer to make holes in the balls and gently press the pretzel pieces into them. If necessary, squeeze gently to secure the pretzels in place.
- Place the Krispie treats on a parchment lined baking sheet to set.
