🕒 Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 25 min | Total Time: 40 min
Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownies)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp water
- 12 round chocolate candies (like Reese’s, Rolos, or Lindt truffles)

- ½ cup chocolate frosting (for piping legs)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Bake the brownies 🟤
- Prepare the brownie batter according to package or recipe instructions.

- Cut into squares 🔪
- Slice the cooled brownies into equal squares. Place on a serving tray.
- Add spider bodies 🕷️

- Use a tiny dab of frosting to stick candy eyes onto each chocolate body.
- Pipe the legs
- Fill a piping bag or zip-top bag with chocolate frosting. Pipe four curved legs on each side of the spider body.
