Better late than never...Can you believe it's already the week of Halloween? If you haven't had a chance to pick out your Halloween menu, here are some ideas that your friends (and the little ones too) will absolutely enjoy!
Aside from carving a pumpkin, my favorite Halloween tradition is making spider cookies. I first tried spider cookies at my piano teacher's Halloween party, probably around age 7. The next year, I had the nerve to ask for the recipe, and the rest was history! It's one of the easiest recipes I've ever made, but the end result is some really impressive-looking spiders. I wish I had pictures of my own to post, but I haven't made my spiders yet this year. I will post a picture as soon as I have a chance.
Chocolate Spider Cookies

Printable recipe
1 bag of dried chow mein noodles (found in the Asian section of the grocery store)
1 - 12oz bag semi-sweet chocoalte chips
1 - 12oz bag semi-sweet chocoalte chips
Place chocolate chips in a microwaveable glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30-45 seconds until smooth. Gently fold/stir the chow mein noodles into melted chocolate until all noodles are coated in chocolate.
Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper (I use 2 forks). Stick on extra noodles for spider legs and chill in refrigerator. These can be served alone, or could be used ontop of cupcakes.
I love all of the ideas below. Some of them might inspire you to come up with creepy creations of your own. With a bit of creative thinking, pretty much any recipe can be transformed into a ghoulish treat. Hope everyone has a spooktacular Halloween!
