I made the mistake of showing this recipe to my daughters, and now I have to make a special trip to the grocery store to pick up supplies!

The recipe comes from Chef Andres Jimenez, who is the Executive Chef for The Ritz-Carlton in Denver, Colorado. Made using the standard truffle method of cooled ganache, these truffles are put on a stick and decorated with bits of candy to resemble spiders. These would be great for kids to help out with, and to give away to teachers or for a class party!

I usually like to let my kids help me out when I make fun treats, but I think this is one that would be fun to have already made and waiting for them when they get home from school on Halloween!
