Creepy Crawly Spider Cookies

2 c Chocolate chips,semi-sweet Divided
1/2 c Crispy-rice cereal
1/4 c Shredded coconut
1 1/2 c Chow mein noodles

Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Mix the cereal and the coconut. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper for the spiders’ bodies. Melt the second cup of chocolate chips. Gently stir in chow mein noodles. When chocolate is cooled, pick noodles out one by one and attach them to the spider bodies for legs (8 to a spider). Add dots of frosting for eyes, if desired. Leftover chocolate noodles can be made into more spider cookies.
