Directions

Syrup

1. Take out a 1-quart saucepan and begin to mix and boil the ingredients for the syrup make sure to stir constantly.  While stirring, slowly add enough black food coloring to give the mixture the complete black color.
2. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens after it has become thick then remove from the heat and set the pan aside.

Pancakes

1. Stir together, in a large bowl, the ingredients for the pancake batter until they are thoroughly combined.  (The choice is yours on which colors you decide to use for the pancake coloring)
2. Brush your griddle or skillet with vegetable oil or cooking spray.  And set the heat over a medium-low heat.
3. Begin to spoon batter onto the heated skillet or griddle and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side of the pancakes.

Spider web Frosting

1. Put chocolate frosting into a decorating bag fitted with a small round tip.

Final Assembly

1. Place the firm pancakes on a separate plate for decorating.  Take one pancake and begin to draw a spider web and/or spider onto the face of the cake.  Then put aside to let the frosting set.
2. Repeat this process until all pancakes have been covered.  Then serve the covered pancakes with drizzles of the blackened syrup and enjoy!
