I had a recipe for chocolate spiders made with chocolate wafers and corn syrupfrom one of the womens magazines, I think it was. Anyways, I lost it and I desperately need it for this evening. Does anyone have it out there? Thanks!

Spider Bites
These itsy-bitsy chocolate spiders will disappear by the handful.
Ingredients:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) sliced almonds
1/4 cup sugar
1 pkg. (9 oz.) chocolate wafer cookies
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup chocolate milk
Black crystal sugar
Black licorice laces
Green and orange tubed decorating icing
Directions:
Combine almonds and sugar in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Using your hands, crumble wafer cookies into almond mixture. Add cocoa powder, and pulse to grind into crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl.
Stick legs into bodies, and attach heads with licorice pieces. Pipe eyes and mouths using tubed icing. Makes about 24 spiders.
Stir in corn syrup and chocolate milk. Let dough rest for 30 minutes. Make 24 balls, about 1 1/4 inch in diameter, for spider bodies, rolling in crystal sugar as you go. Make 24 balls, about 1 inch in diameter, for spider heads, also rolling in sugar. For each spider, cut eight 3-inch pieces of licorice lace for legs and a 1-inch piece to attach head to body.

Yield: 8 spiders
20-oz bag frozen strawberries, thawed
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
8 chocolate wafer cookies
1 qt vanilla ice cream
About 22 chocolate licorice shoelaces
1 bottle "hard shell" chocolate sauce
16 white-chocolate chips
1. Puree strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice: Blend on medium speed until smooth. Refrigerate until serving time.
2. To make "bodies," place cookies on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Put a small scoop of ice cream on top of each cookie and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes.
3. Remove bodies from freezer and poke 3-inch pieces of licorice into sides for legs. If ice cream is very hard, poke holes with a toothpick first. Freeze for a few minutes to harden.
4. Cover bodies with thick layer of chocolate sauce. Before sauce hardens, press 2 chocolate chips onto front of each one for eyes. Freeze again until ready to serve.
5. Pour strawberry puree onto plate; put spider in center.
