Preparation of Halloween Spiders
Prepare the chocolate cake and take 450 grams to make the spiders, crumble it and add the jam, mix it with your hands and get a soft and homogeneous ball.
Make small balls, grease your hands and finish shaping the balls, then roll them in chocolate sprinkles, make the spider eyes by inserting two sugar crystals on each ball.
At this point, create two holes on each side of the spider and with the licorice rolls unrolled and split, create the legs.
Now we can put our spiders in the fridge for at least half an hour to set, after which we can serve them to our children who will surely be happy.
