Kids Party Food - Chocolate Crackle Spiders

Ingredients

70g (2 cups) Rice Bubbles
120g (2/3 cup) icing sugar mixture
35g (1/2 cup) shredded coconut
1 tbs cocoa powder, sifted
140g copha
20g (1/4 cup) shredded coconut, extra
1 tbs icing sugar mixture, extra
1 tsp cocoa powder, extra
24 red jelly beans
190g (1 cup) dark chocolate melts (Nestle brand)
 
Makes 12

Method
Combine the Rice Bubbles, icing sugar, coconut and cocoa in a large bowl. Place the copha in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes or it melts. Reserve 2 tablespoonfuls of copha. Add the remaining copha to the Rice Bubbles mixture and stir until well combined.

Combine extra coconut, extra icing sugar and extra cocoa with reserved copha in a small bowl.

Place 2 tablespoonsful of Rice Bubbles mixture in each hole of a 12-hole (80ml/1/3-cup) muffin pan. Use a teaspoon to lightly press down. Sprinkle with coconut mixture. Press red jelly beans in each chocolate crackle for eyes. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

Meanwhile, line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Place the chocolate melts in a medium heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until it melts and is smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoonfuls of chocolate. Place the remaining chocolate in a small plastic bag. Use a pair of scissors to snip the corner and pipe 8 chocolate lines, about 10cm long, onto the lined tray to make spider legs. Repeat to create 11 more sets of legs. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes or until set.

Remove chocolate crackles from pan and place, coconut-side up, on a clean work surface. Use reserved melted chocolate to attach the chocolate legs to each spider. Serve.

Notes & tips

Prep: 30 mins (+ 30 mins setting time)

Microwave tip 1: Chop the copha and place in a heatproof microwave-safe bowl. Heat, uncovered, on High/800watts/100% for 3-4 minutes or until almost melted.

Microwave tip 2: Place chocolate melts in a heatproof microwave-safe bowl. Heat, uncovered, on High/800watts/100%, in 1 minute bursts, stirring every minute with a metal spoon until almost melted. Stand for 1 minute and stir well.

You can prepare these spiders to the end of step 3 up to 1 day ahead. Continue from step 4 up to 6 hours ahead.
