A quick, fun bake to cook with children for Halloween, transforming simple chocolate chip cookies into creepy crawly treats. For this recipe we have used dark chocolate covered honeycomb balls to create the spider's body, then we have piped chocolate and royal icing for the details, you will need two piping bags and a small round piping tip, or you can cut a very narrow opening when cutting the tip open on the piping bags.
