Ingredients

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 24 pretzel sticks
• 12 mini marshmallows
• 24 candy eyes
• 1 sheet parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Dip the ends of two pretzel sticks into the melted chocolate and lay them on the parchment paper in a crisscross pattern to create 'legs' for the creepy crawler.

Step 4

Attach a mini marshmallow on top of the center where the pretzels intersect by dipping the marshmallow slightly in the melted chocolate to act as glue.

Step 5

Spoon a dollop of chocolate over the marshmallow to create the 'body' of the creepy crawler and ensure it sticks to the pretzel legs.

Step 6

Before the chocolate sets, press two candy eyes onto the front of the marshmallow to create the 'face' of the creepy crawler.

Step 7

Repeat these steps to make 12 creepy crawlers.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.

Step 9

Carefully remove the creepy crawlers from the parchment paper and serve them on a platter, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
