Ingredients

1 cup chow mein noodles
1 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup currants

Supplies

2 cookie sheets
Wax paper

Directions

Step 1
Line 2 cookie sheets with wax paper. To make each set of bug legs, arrange eight chow mein noodles, two side by side, on the prepared cookie sheets.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate chips in a medium microwavable bowl until smooth, about 45 to 60 seconds. Stir in the currants to just coat with the chocolate. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the center of each chow mein noodle arrangement. Place cookie sheets in the refrigerator until set, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Gently peel bugs from the wax paper and serve.
