I made this for a school Halloween luncheon. At first, I was dissapointed because I couldn't get it in the shape of a spiderweb. So, I mixed it all in a bowl, spooned out in plastic spoons, chilled in the fridge overnight and called it "Scoop-O-Poop". It was a great hit!

This looked awesome! And a tip to keep the bag from splitting when piping the peanut butter. Warm it in the micro for 10 seconds b/4 using. My hubby and I stuck a plastic spider and fly on this, it looked great! The only thing was that this was overly rich for our tastes. Too much chocolate and since I love chocolate so much I thought I'd never say that:-)

I have made this the past 3 years for my daughter's birthday treat at school (October birthday) and the teachers and kids always love it. Sooo rich and yummy. I always buy the little black spiders to place on top too. Very cute! (I usually have some chocolate mixture leftover, it seems to make a lot)

I made this as part of a buffet for a teen halloween party, it turned out really well and was devoured by all...the only problem I had was to use a sandwich baggie to pipe the PB but it kept bursting in odd places, so had to revert to a freezer bag ( much stronger)
