Ingredients
8large black gumdrops
8crows black licorice drops
16white nonpareils
8black licorice laces
Preparation
Cut a sliver off top of each gumdrop to expose sticky interior. Repeat with black licorice drops. Gently press cut side of 1 gumdrop (body) onto cut side of 1 black licorice drop (head). Repeat.
Using a skewer, poke 2 shallow holes into each licorice-drop head for eyes, and poke 8 shallow holes (4 on each side) into each gumdrop body for legs.
Gently press 1 nonpareil into each eye hole. Cut a small slit in the midpoint of each licorice lace, being careful not to cut all the way through, to create joints on legs.
Insert 1 licorice leg into each hole in body. (The spiders will keep at room temperature for up to 1 week.)
