  • Pour filled buns with chocolate syrup (store bought or make your own, whichever)
  • Chill in the fridge for 20 mins
  • Meanwhile, melt some chocolate chips and pipe into antennas and legs. Chill until firm, 10-15 minutes
  • Once buns are chilled, roll caramel candy (store bought or make your own, whichever) flat and cut into strips
  • Lay strips on buns and push in antennas and legs as well

Enjoy!
