Chocolate Spider’s Webs

October 30, 2017October 30, 2017

Getting into the Halloween spirit (for once) today with these deliciously easy spider webs.

Whether you love it or hate it Halloween does have one rather glorious perk: an excuse to eat chocolate – and lots of it! This is a super easy recipe (it basically consists of melting chocolate) that you can whip us this Halloween as a nod to the occasion – get your children involved in making it, hand the batch out to trick or treaters or just sit and eat the lot with friends whilst carving pumpkins (this is what I did). Happy Halloween and enjoy!

Makes one large slab

Prep time: 15 minutes

Chilling time: 2 hours

Ingredients

400 g good quality milk or dark chocolate
75 white chocolate
2 tbsp coconut oil
a selection of sweets (optional)
1 pipping bag

Method

Break the chocolate into two separate heat proof bowls and add a tablespoon of coconut oil to each. Bring two saucepans of water to a simmer and set the bowls on top of each. Melt the chocolate, stirring it occasionally until smooth and glossy. This should take around 5 minutes.
Line a large baking tray with grease-proof paper. Pour the milk/ dark chocolate onto this tray and use the back of your spoon to ensure it spreads out a little.
Place the pipping bag nozzle end down into a large cup (this helps to prop it open and up) and then fill it with the melted white chocolate. Cut a very small hole in the point of the bag to release the white chocolate.
Using the white chocolate draw several circular swirls onto the darker chocolate slab. Take a cocktail stick and starting from the middle of each swirl pull it through the white chocolate to the outside. Repeat this, working your way around each circle until a spider’s web effect appears. Sprinkle sweets over the slab and then place it in the fridge for two hours to solidify.
Take it out of the fridge and use a sharp knife to slice it up into bite sized pieces.
