Spooky Spider Crispy Cakes for you to make
Susie from Devon
Well, it’s been an absolutely amazing week talking to you all here at Creepy House, but it’s time for someone else to introduce themselves on Monday and for me to say goodbye. I’ll still be here to answer your comments and questions til the end of Sunday so keep it coming! I’ll leave you with a few last book recommendations and something yummy to make. These are super easy, rather creepy, and completely yummy, so we’re sharing the recipe here for you all to try. We’ve been making them in our cafe workshops here in Cullompton, Devon.
Is your library doing anything crafty this week? Let us know what you’ve been making!
Don’t forget to explore the rest of the Creepy House website for games, a competition, and interesting videos. Have you tried “Charlottes’ Web” by E.B.White, “Spider Stampede” in the S.W.I.T.C.H series by Ali Sparkes, “The Very Busy Spider” by Eric Carle, or “Aaaarrgghh, Spider!” by Lydia Monks, which is a lot of fun. See what you think and let us know!
INGREDIENTS:
100g chocolate – dark or milk.
60g butter
3 table spoons golden syrup
90g Rice Krispies
Small marshmallows for eyes
Shoe-lace sweets for legs and mouth
Black icing (from a tube if possible.)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave, 10 seconds at a time, stirring each time.
2) Add the butter, making sure it melts.
3) Add the syrup and then the Rice Krispies, mix well.
4) Make into balls and put into cake cases.
5) Using a little black icing, attach 8 legs and marshmallow eyes.
TIP: Allow to cool slightly at step 5 to make the balls easier to form.
Enjoy!
They look super creepy but taste delicious funny kind though
We think they look excellent and a little bit creepy! If you read a creepy book this summer do let us know what it was and what you thought of it. We love hearing all about what everyone is reading.
Can you suggest a book as lovely as those crispy spider cakes
I am into animal tales
One of our favourite books about animals and a spider is Charlotte’s Web by E.B.White. Also, you could try books by Holly Webb – she writes fantastic animal stories.
We made them and they we delicious! Even though I hate spiders
Well done Queen Agnetha! There are lots of cookery books in your local library. If you find a good book please let us know and we would love to hear about what else you have made.
looks good
Can you make other creatures?
Hello Judge Tulip Desperado! Ooh, I expect so. What would you try? Use the same recipe but add different features. You could make whiskers instead of legs and all sorts.
