Spider Web Bark

When it comes to Halloween treats Beaulah is all about coming

up with easy ideas.  She was inspired by her pet spiders

and thought a chocolate version of a spider web would be such a great

idea. I loved the idea too.  This was a fun treat that we whipped up

in just minutes. 

Beaulah's Spider Web Bark

Melt 2 C chocolate.  Temper it if you are using real chocolate

so that it doesn't streak by melting it and then cooling it to 

about 90 degrees.  Test by placing a drop of chocolate on

the counter.  It should harden up within a minute.  If it doesn't,

let it cool while stirring it a little more.  If you are using chocolate

coating, melt it in the microwave at 30 second intervals, making

sure to stir between each interval.

Spread the chocolate out in a circle on parchment paper.

Melt white chocolate drops in the microwave at 30 second

intervals, making sure that you stir between each interval.

Place the completely melted white coating in a squeeze

bottle with a small tip or in a ziploc bag with the corner

cut off.  Start at the middle and pipe a continuous circle

gradually getting bigger until you get within 1/2 inch of the

edge.  Draw a skewer or toothpick through the white

chocolate to create the webbing.

While the chocolate is still soft top it with a candy spider.

Let the chocolate set up and peel the parchment paper off.

 Beaulah suggested we serve it whole and let people break pieces

of the bark off. 

You were right Beulah, everyone loved it and wanted to

know how to make it.  "Oh, so simple!" she cackled.
