When my husband and I first were married, he begged me to make some Hairy Scary Spiders for Halloween.  The recipe sounded weird to me so I politely declined.  Year after year my husband requested them and I turned the request down.  After ten years of requesting I finally gave in declaring that I was not going to touch the gross things!   Upon finishing my husband and kids quickly gobbled the spiders up.  With just a few left, my kids begged me to give the spiders a try.  I tentatively ate one and was hooked!  These spiders were delicious!   The spiders have become a Halloween treat tradition in our family.  I wanted to share this quick and simple recipe with you!  Don’t be a scaredy cat like me, give them a try!

Ingredients:

12 oz bag of chocolate chips

6 oz bag of butterscotch or peanut butter flavored chips

Bag of chow mein noodles or 2 large cans

Red Hots, or Mini M & M’s
