Halloween: Huge Scary Spiders




Source of Recipe


The Sugar Association


List of Ingredients




2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Red baking candies or "red hots"


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheet.

In a saucepan, melt chocolate over low heat. Let cool. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat margarine on low speed until smooth. Add sugar and beat until creamy. Stir in egg, vanilla and chocolate. Add flour mixture and mix well forming a stiff dough.

To make a spider, shape a 2-inch flat oval for the body. Make the spider's head by flattening a circle about 1/2 in diameter. Shape dough for eight legs, each about two inches long and less than 1/4 inch wide. Attach the head and legs to the body. Put two red candies into the head for eyes. Bake for 5-8 minutes. Let spiders cool on baking sheet to avoid breaking when removing.
