Creepy-crawlies need not apply—this spider is adorably delectable, set on top of a vanilla cupcake and crafted out of a chocolate-covered marshmallow cookie, with Tootsie Roll legs and M&M’s for eyes.

• 1 1/2 cans (16 oz each) vanilla frosting

Preparation

Step 1

1. Frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting, reserving 1 Tbsp. Place cookies on top.

2. Cut Tootsie Roll Midgees into 4 pieces each. Using the palm of your hand, roll each piece into a 3-in. rope. Press into rope with tines of a fork to make texture lines. Press 8 ropes onto each frosted cupcake for legs.

3. Pipe small dots of tube icing onto cookies for eyes and nose; press on M&M’s for eyes and mini M&M for nose. With a toothpick, dot eyes with reserved white frosting.
