Chocolate Spiders & Ghouls, Oh My!

A Mini-round-up of Chocolate Treats to bake for my favorite Holiday: Halloween!

Stephanie Jaworski at Joy of Baking.com has a great and easy Chocolate Spiders Recipe using Chocolate Coconut Macaroons, pretzels and candy eyes.

From All Recipes comes Classic Cookie Cut-Outs. Collect your cookie cutters: use a chocolate dough for bats, witches' hats, black cats and spiders. Sugar cookie dough makes perfect pumpkins, owls, ghosts, bones and skulls. Both types can be frosted and decorated (with chocolate). Try making Stained Glass Cookies in Jack O'Lantern shapes with glowing yellow eyes and grins.
