Creepy Crawly Ice Cream Cups

What You Need:

 

8 individual graham cracker tart shells

8 scoops of vanilla ice cream

16 chocolate cream filled cookies, crumbled

16 red M&M candy pieces

16 pieces of black shoestring licorice

 

How to Make It:

 

Place the shells on a baking sheet.

Add 1 scoop of ice cream to each of the shells.

Crumble the cookies into a mixing bowl.

Sprinkle the cookies over the ice cream to cover it well.

Place the filled shells in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the ice cream has hardened.

Remove the shells and press 2 M&M’s into the front of each scoop of ice cream to resemble eyes.

Cut the licorice strips into fourths.

Press 8 strips of licorice into each ice cream scoop to form the spider’s legs.

Return to the freezer until ready to serve.

 

These simple little spiders are so easy make and the kids will love them.  Use any flavor of ice cream you like and use different colors of M&M’s for the eyes if you prefer.
