- black color gel
- 48 ¼ inch candy eyes
- 1 tablespoon white candy melts or white chocolate chips
Instructions

- Knead bag until chocolate is smooth and melted and if necessary, repeat microwaving and kneading until melted.
- Snip a very small tip in the bag and pipe chocolate onto the back of the candy eyes.
- Press eyes onto the cookies. Let stand to harden.
- With remaining cupcakes, draw a web onto the top.
- Start with six lines, intersecting in the center to make 6 triangle pie shapes.

Notes
Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before decorating.
Use glossy black gel for spider legs for extra shine.
Let eyes set completely to avoid sliding.
Get creative with web designs.
