02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe or spoon the melted chocolate onto the paper in a large spiderweb pattern by first drawing intersecting lines, then connecting with curved lines.
03 - Allow the chocolate spiderweb to firm at room temperature or refrigerate for approximately 10 minutes until completely set.
04 - Carefully lift the chocolate spiderweb and place it onto a large serving platter or tray.
05 - Decorate around and atop the spiderweb with gummy spiders or worms, mini marshmallows, chocolate candies, sour belts or licorice strings, candy corn, jelly beans, and pretzel sticks; cluster similar items for visual impact and place gummy spiders strategically for a spooky effect.
06 - Present immediately or cover and keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
