Lemon Ghoul-o’s
Make your own Ludovic and Irina!

2 Lemons (Rind and Juice)
175 ml water
2 tsp gelatine
4 tsp caster sugar
Black writing gel

Put lemon rind into a saucepan with half the water, simmer for 5 minutes then let cool.
Soften the gelatine in the remaining water in a small heatproof container. Stand the container in a pan of hot water and stir until the gelatine dissolves.
Add lemon juice and sugar. Pour into individual moulds and leave for a few hours to set.
To get jello out of the mould put a cloth in warm water and wrap it around the mould for a few seconds. If jello still doesn’t come out easily, repeat with the warm water wrap. Use writing gel to draw on eyes and mouth.

Chocolate Spider Cookies
Little does Aracidia know that she's pretty tasty too!

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 sticks butter
 (1 cup)
3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

8 oz Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips

8 tbsp cocoa powder

Chocolate sticks/liquorice sticks
Red mini M&M’s
Black writing gel

Preheat the oven to 190C. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until the mix is light brown in color.
Melt butter in microwave. Transfer to a large mixing bowl with the sugars, egg, and vanilla extract - mix until just blended.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients and work into a thick, sticky dough.
Add chocolate chips, stir gently, and leave for 5-10 minutes to let chips sink into the batter. Roll out balls of dough (between 1 tsp and 2 tbsp in size, depending on how big you want the cookies to be) and smush them flat on the baking pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. To turn these into spiders add chocolate/liquorice sticks on the sides as legs and put on red M&M’s as eyes adding a little black dot in the middle with black writing gel.
