2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 c margarine
1 c sugar
1 ea egg, beaten
1 t vanilla
1 x red hots for decoration

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. In a saucepan melt chocolate over low heat. Let cool. In a small bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat margarine on low speed until creamy. Stir in egg, vanilla and chocolate. Add flour mixture and mix well, forming a stiff dough.

To make a spider, shape a 2-inch flat oval for the body. Make the spiders head by flattening a circle about 1/2 inch wide. Shape dough for eight legs, each about 2 inches long and less than 1/4 inch wide. Attach the head and legs to the body. Use 2 red candies for the eyes.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Let spiders cool on baking sheet to avoid breaking when removing.

Makes about 20 spiders.
