Ingredients:
- 250g high-quality dark chocolate chips (60% cocoa or higher)
- 60ml natural creamy almond butter
- 1g flaky sea salt
- 1 bag small salted pretzel twists (approximately 72 twists used)
- 36 edible candy eyes
Instructions:
- Place dark chocolate chips and almond butter in a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is glossy and fluid. Do not overheat.
- Stir in a pinch of flaky sea salt to intensify the cocoa notes.
- Prepare the legs by breaking pretzel twists into 'L' shapes (8 legs per spider).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to form the bodies.
- While the chocolate is still molten, gently press four pretzel legs into each side of the body.
- Place two candy eyes on the front of each body, using the chocolate as adhesive.
- Flash-freeze for 5 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
