Prep: 30 min.
Bake: 10 min.


Ingredients:

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate fudge cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
Shoestring black licorice, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
1/4 cup red-hot candies

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, butter and egg (dough will be stiff). Shape into 1-in. balls.

Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks.

Spread a heaping teaspoonful of frosting over the bottom of half of the cookies. Place four licorice pieces on each side of cookies for spider legs; top with remaining cookies. For eyes, attach two red-hot candies with frosting to top of spider. Yield: about 2 dozen.

This would be cute with any kind of chocolate pre-made cookies too! I would use red skittles or m&m's for eyes instead.
