WE HAD BEEN INVITED to a Halloween Potluck and I was assigned a dessert. I decided to make a treat that my husband had enjoyed as a child. When I placed them on a serving plate, my 6-year-old son exclaimed, “Oh Mom! Those Chocolate Spiders look so yummy!”
The name stuck and they have been a Halloween tradition ever since. That son is now 34!
