CHOCOLATE WEB AND SPIDER
One half cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Make cupcakes and set aside. Make chocolate web and spider: On a sheet of
parchment paper draw an 11inch circle with a pen or pencil and draw a
spider web on it, extending some of ends beyond circle. Tear off a large
corner of

the paper and on it draw a spider. Turn drawings over onto a large baking
sheet.

In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water melt chocolate
chips, stirring until smooth. Transfer chocolate to a pastry bag fitted
with a #3 plain tip (slightly smaller than 1/8 inch). (Al

ternatively, form a makeshift pastry bag: Transfer chocolate to a small
sealable plastic bag and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Squeeze
chocolate to one corner of bag and snip off about an inch from corner
making

a small hole.)

Pipe chocolate on web, beginning with spokes, and on spider. Freeze web and
spider on baking sheet until very firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day
