Ingredients
- 15 pieces soft caramels
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 10 pieces pecan halves
- 40 pieces pretzel sticks
- 20 pieces mini candy eyes
- 1 teaspoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Unwrap the soft caramels and place them into a microwave-safe bowl with the heavy cream and butter.
Step 2
Microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
Step 3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and arrange the pecan halves to form the spider's body, with each half being the main part of the torso.
Step 4
Cut the pretzel sticks in half to form 'legs' and arrange 4 halves on each side of the pecan halves to resemble spider legs.
Step 5
Drizzle a tablespoon of melted caramel over the pecan and pretzel arrangement to hold the pieces together. Let it set and cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk and semisweet chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 7
Using a spoon, coat each caramel nut spider completely with melted chocolate. Smooth out the chocolate with the back of the spoon while maintaining the spider shape.
Step 8
Place two mini candy eyes on top of the chocolate-covered caramel nut spider while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 9
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the spiders to set for about 20 minutes or until firm.
Step 10
Serve your Caramel Nut Brown Recluse Spiders as a fun and delicious dessert for your spooky occasion!
