Halloween Idea - Spooky Spiders & Creepy Crawlers

Start a new Halloween tradition and bake a scary cake, using a mix or one of your favorite recipes. Once the cake is baked, frost it with dark chocolate frosting and sprinkle crumbled chocolate wafers over it. This layer will transform the cake into the “dirt” grounds of a cemetery. Insert shortbread cookie tombstones with various messages like ”BOO” or “RIP” written with frosting. Add whatever little plastic (or edible) spooky spiders and creepy crawlers you can fin at your local craft store, and you’ll be sure to raise the dead. Once the cake is sliced and served, each person not only receives a delicious treat, but a delightful scare!
