Out of Shannon's Cookbook~ REESE'S Peanut Butter Pumpkin Spider

My bestie Shannon came across these yummy creepy crawlers that would be perfect for this Halloween weekend if you're having a party, or planning on taking treats to one. How cute are these, and so easy and fun!

Ingredients:

• REESE'S Peanut Butter Pumpkins(1.2 oz. ea.)
• Large pretzel twists(2-1/2 to 3 in.)
• 1/4 cup HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips, HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips*
• White YORK PIECES Candies

Directions:

1. Line tray or cookie sheet with waxed paper. Remove wrappers from desired number of peanut butter pumpkins. For each spider, cut 8 matching curved sections from pretzels which will form the legs. Set aside remaining pretzels pieces.

2. Place milk chocolate chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and smooth when stirred. Transfer to small heavy duty plastic food storage bag. Cut off one corner of bag about 1/4 inch from the tip.

3. For each spider, place peanut butter pumpkin on prepared tray. Attach pretzel legs and white candy "eyes" to spider with melted chocolate; place dot of melted chocolate on each eye. Allow chocolate to set before moving spiders.

* This amount of chocolate will make about 8 spiders.
