I used one of my favorite fudgy brownie recipes and topped them off with chocolate frosting! So good, so simple, and so chocolatey.

Place the frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small round, leaf, or star tip*. Set aside

To make the spiders: Use a circle cookie/biscuit cuter to cut out your desired size of circles for the spider "bodies". Place on wax paper for prep, or place them right on your serving tray.
10
Take the black legs and stick four on each side of the spider, repeat with remaining spiders.
11
Pipe small spikes on the top of the brownies as the spiders hair. You can also just roughly smooth the frosting on with a knife.
12
Place two eyes on the edge of one end of the spider, making sure to use the frosting as glue for the eyes. Repeat with remaining spiders.
13
If desired sprinkle some black sprinkles on top of the frosting.
