Spider Cupcakes

These are some cute cupcakes I made for a cake walk. For obvious reasons they were a big hit!
Ingredients
Legs: Black Licorice (String preferred. I used regular and then only did 6 legs. Face it.. they look cool anyways!
Eyes: Chocolate eyeball candy
Fangs: Halloween Candy Corns
Body: Chocolate Frosting
Inside(aka Blood by my kids!): Red Velvet Cake mix

Hints
- Push the legs into the cooled and frosted cupcakes first.
- Use a little frosting to help the eyes stick together!
- The fangs don't need to hang down... they look just fine sticking straight off the front, plus they stay on better!
- Try not to be scared when you eat them! They are NOT real spiders! lol
