Follow the directions on the box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal and make two pans of treats, using slightly more marshmallows than the recipe calls for. Cut each pan into 12 squares of treats. While warm, immediately pull each square apart until it looks like a web. Lay each web on a paper plate and place a gumdrop spider on the still sticky web.

BARBECUED BAT WINGS
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Honey
1 cup Soy Sauce
1 cup Water
2 Garlic Cloves (crushed)
2 Dozen Chicken Wings
1 18-ounce bottle Barbecue Sauce (I prefer KC Masterpiece or Kraft Honey Flavor.)
Mix the honey, soy sauce, water and crushed garlic to make a marinade. Place wings in shallow dish. Pour or brush marinade over wings and refrigerate, covered, overnight. Drain marinade and discard. Set oven to broil. Place wings on a broiler rack and broil each side for 8 minutes. Serve with barbecue sauce.
Cut the hot dogs lengthwise into thin slices and score the edges (about 3 cuts per slice). Boil or microwave until the slices curl into "worms." Serve 4 to 5 worms in a bun. Add ketchup and/or mustard in squiggles as "worm juice."
