It wasn't until I made a batch of these up today while watching PJ's LOTR:ROTK that it occurred to me that this recipe should be posted here.

Chocolate Spiders

You don’t have to be as courageous as Samwise the Brave to feel up to attacking these spiders. Yum!

6 oz. Semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups chow mein noodles
1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup miniature marshmallows - white or multi-coloured*

Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips. Add noodles, peanuts and marshmallows, stirring until coated with chocolate mixture. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper. Chill until firm. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 3 dozen.

* Slightly chilled marshmallows are best, so they keep separated. My batch today used marshmallows at room-temperature and they were just a gooey mess going into the pot and ended up completely melted into the chocolate. They should still be discernable as marshmallows in the final product. Very tasty either way.
