These chocolate cupcakes are turned into spiders with the addition of Nutella frosting and chocolate sprinkled pretzel legs! Red hot cinnamon candies make the spider eyes.
Place a cookie cooling rack over paper towels. Lay out pretzels onto the rack. Drizzle Magic Shell over and quickly sprinkle with the chocolate sprinkles (before it dries!). Let dry on cooling rack. You'll need 8 spider legs for each spider cupcake that you make.
ASSEMBLE THE CUPCAKES:
Gently insert spider legs (4 on each side) into the top-sides of the cupcakes. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the Nutella onto the top of the cupcake (to act as frosting). On top of the spread, add 2 red hots for the eyes of the spider; dot Cocoa Puffs onto the body of the spider. Eat!
Notes
Money-saving tip: Use canned chocolate frosting in place of the chocolate hazelnut spread.
Make ahead tip: You can make these spider cupcakes one day ahead & they will be perfectly fine to eat the next day.
