Instructions
- Lightly grease an oven tray. Place marshmallows, butter, sugar and cocoa powder in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until melted. Place rice cereal in a bowl. Add marshmallow mixture and stir to combine.
Make spiders:
- Cut twenty-four 7cm-long, thin strips from licorice. Using damp hands, shape 1 tablespoon of crackle mixture into a 5cm round. Lay 4 licorice strips across round, overhanging evenly on each side. Sandwich with another round of crackle mixture. Use icing to secure M&Ms as eyes. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining crackle mixture, licorice strips, icing and M&Ms to make 5 more spiders.
Make bats:
- Using the template (see notes) as a guide, cut twelve 7cm-long 'wings' from licorice. Using damp hands, shape 2 tablespoons of crackle mixture into a 8cm-long oval. Place tips of licorice wings on long sides. Sandwich with another 2 tablespoons of crackle mixture. Use icing to secure M&Ms as eyes. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining crackle mixture, licorice wings, icing and M&Ms to make 5 more bats.
- Refrigerate spiders and bats for 1 hour or until set. Serve.
