Use a wooden skewer or pick to make 3 to 4 small holes on each side of the ball. Cut licorice into 1-1/2 to 2-inch lengths. Dip one end of each length of licorice in chocolate; then insert each “leg” in hole.
Carefully frost top of each spider with the melted chocolate. Finish with two colored candies for eyes. Cool at least 1-1/2 hours, until chocolate is completely set.
