Easy recipe. I did tweak it a little bit though- Used a 24oz bag of semi-sweet choc morsels, melted in the mic and instead of using chow mein noodles (not really a fan) I used a 16oz. bag of pretzel sticks. I broke the pretzels up a bit to make the servings smaller- depends on how big you want your spiders. Had some leftover white choc chips I used for the eyes & dotted them with decorating gel. Made about 30-40 "spiders", they look more like monsters to me but they came out great!

I have made these several times and they are always a hit. I did make some changes. I use 1 bag of 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips and approx. 1/2 a bag of butterscotch chips. Melt them together in the microwave (butterscotch chips melt at a little higher temp so you need to mix them in and "smoosh" them into the melted chocolate chips.) I can only find 5 oz. canisters of chow mein noodles, so that is what I use. I use some of the remaining butterscotch chips (inverted) for eyes and black gel icing (smallest tube at the store) for the irises. I'll upload a photo. Thanks JSS6801 for this great recipe!

Made these for Teacher Appreciation the week of Halloween (See photo). They are fun and easy to make. I used 1lb of chocolate with a 12oz bag of noodles. Made them last year for my Girl Scout troop.

Yummy! But it is even better when you add 1/2 butterscotch chips and milk chocolate chips. I also add peanuts in with the chocolate mixture before I add the noodles. So easy and fun! M&M's make good eyes also. For Christmas you can use a red hot for a nose and two M&M's for eyes. Rudolph!!! :)

I made these for a church harvest party and used white chocolate chips for the eyes and couldn't find the confectioner's coating so used semi-sweet chocolate chips. They were a huge hit! Adults as well as kids loved them! Thanks JSS for this delicious and super easy recipe.

Do NOT use ghirardelli it never melted, it is a huge mess, the noodles are not covered and I am going to a party in 3 hours, waste of money and time. If you know the chocolate melts, use it.

These are so fun and easy! I make these every year with my son and nephews and we always have a blast. Sometimes while I'm melting the chocolate, I'll put a spoon or two of peanut butter in there...YUMMY! We decorate these w/ all sorts of sprinkles and edible decorations. Super fun for kids AND adults! :)

really cute idea. Was pretty easy, my 6 yr old daughter helped and we had a great time. Taste? well its tastes like chow mein dipped in chocolate. Nothing tremendous but they're adorable and the kids LOVED them.
