This is a fun activity for kids because my daughter is making these for her school dance only she is using red liquorish and m&m's for eyes and chocolate frosting(she didn't want to be a copy cat. i told her it was fine and she said that it's not fair. She can be so funny)

Very easy to make and very Festive. I had trouble shaping the licorice, but other then that, they came out great.

The kids in my daughters preschool LOVED these. I put the legs on and let them finish everything else. They happened to be studying spiders which worked out great.

These were so fun to make and my daughter's pre-k class LOVED them! I was able to find the black twizzlers at CVS, but they were way too heavy. So instead I used pretzel sticks for the legs!! They were sooo cute! Thanks for such a cute idea!

Very cute idea for halloween. I used chocolate twizzlers w/chocolate icing and sprinkles (sprinkles for a hairy effect). I found no problem in getting the licorice to stick (then again I made chocolate banana muffins) 1 package of brownie w/choc. syrup mix and 1 banana + (water, eggs, oil etc.) and bake for 30 mins. Delicious! I wanted to submit a pic, but my digi cam died gggrrr!

The spider cup cakes were great I made a bunch and sent them to work with my husband to share and my kids even though they are teenagers thought they were really cool, I too had a hard time with black licorice and found black twizlers but they are real stiff and I ended up with shorter legs than I liked.. but this is a very cute recipe

This recipe was very fun to make with my granddaughter. I used the black vines and cut in thirds, then cut those thirds lengthwise. They legslooked hairy and as a bonus you get 6 legs out of one vine!

This was a lot of fun to make and my adult friends loved it. We used red licorice instead, no one liked the black.

What an absolute fun recipe for kids. We used M&Ms for eyes because we couldnt find red hots anywhere! We also used twizzlers twist and pull for the legs. The autumn colored M&Ms available now are great for this recipe.
