Ingredients
FOR THE SPIDER
50g
(2oz) dark chocolate, melted
50g
(2oz) chocolate vermicelli sprinkles
2
ring doughnuts (we used Krispy Kreme)
8
giant pretzels, snapped into ‘legs’
FOR THE FREAKSHAKE
500ml
(17 fl 0z) tub salted caramel ice cream
250ml
(9 fl oz) whole milk
100ml
(3 ½ fl oz) Baileys
FOR THE DECORATION
4
edible eyes
50ml
(2 fl oz) chocolate sauce
50ml
(2 fl oz) caramel sauce
Candy floss
Directions
Step 1
To make the spider; melt the dark chocolate in a shallow heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Set aside. Pour the chocolate sprinkles into another shallow bowl, and dip the doughnuts first in the chocolate, and then into the sprinkles. Use the giant pretzels, snapped into ‘legs’ to decorate the spider, and add on some edible eyes. Chill until set.
Step 2
Next, decorate the large glasses (about 400ml (14fl oz) capacity each). Brush chocolate sauce around the lip of the jars, and drizzle chocolate and caramel sauce over the inside and outside of the jars. Stick pieces of candy floss around the top of each jar to create a ‘web’.
Step 3
Tip the shake ingredients into a blender and blend on high speed until everything is well combined. Pour into the glasses, place spider on top and finish with straws to serve.

Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake).
