Infested Coconut Tapioca-Filled Chocolate Spiders
- 8 ounces tapioca pearls
- 8 ounces coconut puree
- 16 ounces dark chocolate
- Special equipment: small half-circle chocolate molds
- For the filling: Place the tapioca in a pot of water and bring to a boil; cook at a boil until clear, then drain the tapioca.
- Add the coconut puree to desired consistency.
- For the shell: Melt the chocolate and pour it into the chocolate molds, and then knock them carefully on a hard surface to release any air bubbles.
- Pour the excess chocolate back into the bowl of warmed chocolate.
- Scrape the flat portion of the mold to clean off the molds.
- Cool the shells to harden completely.
- Pour the tapioca into the chocolate molds.
- Pour more chocolate over the filling, and scrape the excess again, then place the molds in the refrigerator to cool and set up completely.
- To make the chocolate legs, drizzle some melted chocolate on wax paper in long strands, then freeze.
- Break the chocolate strands into pieces and stick them on the sides of the spiders using some melted chocolate as the glue.
