  Speaker 1: spooky and fun touch to your Halloween table. They work
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: very well for parties, family afternoons and activities with children
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: because everyone can help shape and decorate the spiders. For
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: this recipe, preparation time is about 20 minutes plus at
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: least 40 minutes of resting time in the refrigerator. With
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: these quantities, you obtain about 5 spiders. For 5 spiders
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you need Cow's milk ricotta cheese, one half cup, that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is 100 grams. Cookies, 2.6 ounces, that is 75 grams.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Chocolate sprinkles, three and one half tablespoons, that is 50 grams,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: plus more as needed for decorating. One licorice wheel. White
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: chocolate drops as needed for the eyes. Start with the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: cookie and ricotta mixture. Crumble the cookies in a bowl
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: until you obtain fine crumbs. Add the ricotta cheese to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the bowl. Mix carefully with a spoon until you obtain
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a smooth, even dough, where the crumbs are well combined
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: with the ricotta. Form the bodies of the spiders. Take
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about one tablespoon of dough at a time and shape
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it into a ball with your hands. As you form
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the balls, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: spacing them slightly apart. Prepare the chocolate sprinkles in a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: clean bowl. Take each ricotta and cookie ball and roll
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it in the sprinkles. Cover the surface completely so that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: no ricotta shows through. As you finish each one, place
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it back on the tray lined with parchment paper. Place
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the tray in the refrigerator and let the spider bodies
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: chill for at least 40 minutes. This resting time helps
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the dough firm up and makes it easier to add
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the legs and eyes later. While the spiders chill, prepare
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the licorice legs. After the resting time, take the tray
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: out of the refrigerator. Unroll the licorice wheel completely. Split
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the strips in half so that you obtain thinner strands.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Cut these strands into shorter pieces all about the same
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: length so they look like spider legs. Assemble the spiders.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Take one ricotta and cookie truffle at a time. Insert
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the licorice pieces into the sides of each truffle to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: form the legs, placing several on each side so the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: spider stands firmly. Press gently so the legs stay in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: place but do not deform the ball too much. Finish
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the decoration with the eyes. Use white chocolate drops and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: place them on the front of each spider. Press lightly
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so they adhere to the surface and resemble eyes. Arrange
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: your Halloween spiders on a serving plate or tray. Keep
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: them in the refrigerator until serving time. You can store
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to four days. Enjoy these creamy, chocolate-covered Halloween spiders as

  Speaker 1: a playful and spooky treat for your celebrations.
