how to make Crunchy Creepy Crawlies

Ingredients:

12 cupcake cases
200g dark chocolate, chopped
30g unsalted butter
30g golden syrup

Ensure the bowl you use to melt the chocolate is heatproof and fits nicely over the simmering water to prevent any water from splashing in.

Have fun with the decorations! You can add different kinds of candy or change the colors of the icing for a unique look.
