Spider Truffles and Cobweb Cookies

When is a spider too sweet to be scary?.....  When it is a yummy chocolate truffle!  

Leah makes the best and easiest truffles so when we saw the idea for these spiders and cobwebs in a book called Cookie Swap we decided to adapt it using her recipe.  (The recipe is on this past post).   The legs are made of licorice and his eyes and fangs are little candy decorations.  The cookies are decorated with piped icing.

Even though Halloween is just a few days away I seriously doubt there will be any left by then!
