          FOR CHOCOLATE WEB AND SPIDER
   1/2 c  Semisweet chocolate chips

 Make cupcakes and set aside. CHOCOLATE WEB AND SPIDER-On a sheet of
 parchment paper draw an 11" circle with a pen or pencil and draw a spider
 web on it, extending some of ends beyond circle. Tear off a large corner of
 the paper and on it draw a spider. Turn drawings over onto a large baking
 sheet. In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water melt
 chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Transfer chocolate to a pastry bag
 fitted with a #3 plain tip (slightly smaller than 1/8"). (Alternatively,
 form a makeshift pastry bag: Transfer chocolate to a small sealable plastic
 bag and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Squeeze chocolate to one corner
 of bag and snip off about 1" from corner making a small hole.) Pipe
 chocolate on web, beginning with spokes, and on spider. Freeze web and
 spider on baking sheet until very firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
