Description
Spooky Spider Macarons are a quick and playful Halloween treat made with chocolate macarons, matchmaker sticks, icing, and candy eyes. No baking needed—just assemble and serve!
Ingredients
6 small chocolate macarons (store-bought or homemade)
12 chocolate matchmaker sticks (any flavor)
1 small tube of ready-made writing icing
12 edible candy eyeballs
Instructions
Carefully slice each chocolate macaron in half with a thin knife—macarons are delicate, so work gently to separate the top and bottom shells.
Break or slice each chocolate matchmaker stick into four approximately equal-length pieces.
Take 8 of those pieces and press them into the filling or bottom shell around the center—these will become your spider’s eight legs.
Gently place the macaron top back onto the bottom, sandwiching the “legs” in place.
Use the writing icing as edible glue: pipe two dots of icing onto each assembled spider, then affix two candy eyeballs to create its spooky gaze.
Gently place your spooky spider macarons on a festive platter, all set to scurry into the spotlight and charm your guests!
Notes
Handle macarons gently to avoid cracks. If matchmaker legs slide, use a dab of icing to secure them in place. Store at room temperature for best texture.
