Ingredients
  

Date Balls

  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconutoil
  • 150 g dates
  • 1 1/2 tsp orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp grated orange peel
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 3 tbsp coconut granulated
  • 3 tbsp almond or hasselnut granulated

Halloween Decoration

  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 25 g white chocolate

Instructions
 

The Date Balls

  • Melt the coconut oil on a pan
  • Blend the dates, coconut oil, and orange juice in a blender
  • Add the orange peel, cocoa powder, granulated coconut, and nuts
  • Roll small balls of the dough

The Decoration

  • Melt the dark chocolate in a water bath
  • Put 1/4 of the melted chocolate in a piping bag. Let the rest be in the bowl in the water bath (to keep it melted).
  • On a piece of paper draw a circle the size of your balls and draw legs on this circle in the size and shape you want the spider-legs to be
  • Place the drawing underneath a sheet of baking paper and make the chocolate-legs with the piping bag
  • Remove the bowl with chocolate from the water-bath. Roll the balls in the remaining melted dark chocolate in the bowl and put them on top of the legs
  • Let the spiders cool
  • Melt the white chocolate in a water bath
  • Put the white chocolate in a piping bag and let sit till it can be applied to vertical surfaces without running (we do not want it to be too wet when applying)
  • When the spider is close to dry draw eyes with the white chocolate
  • If you want pupils on your spiders, you can heat a bit of dark chocolate and put it in a piping back and apply it on the white eyes
  • Let the spiders dry completely before serving
