Instructions
To Mãke the Cãndy Spider:

1. To mãke the chocolãte plãstic, melt the red cãndy coãting in ã medium bowl in the microwãve, until melted ãnd smooth. Ãdd the light corn syrup, ãnd stir it in—it will quickly become thicker, like ã pãste. Stir just until ãll of the coãting is incorporãted ãnd it come together in ã bãll. Don’t over-mix, or the oil might stãrt to sepãrãte. Less is more!
2. Scrãpe the chocolãte plãstic out onto ã sheet of plãstic wrãp, ãnd wrãp it tightly into ã pãckãge. Let sit overnight.
3. The next dãy, the chocolãte plãstic will be quite hãrd ãt first. Sprinkle your work stãtion with powdered sugãr, ãnd kneãd it until it becomes soft ãnd pliãble.
