Tarantula Cookies - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

I hope you love this! :D

Tarantula Cookies - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

Comments

I tried these out this weekend and only had two cookies survive with all their legs! Christine, I don't know how you managed to get so many to stay intact, but I salute you. I've named the two survivors Clive and Mildred

Rebecca Fitzjohn

Spooky πŸ‘»

Ashley Randolph

These are awesome!! Just wondering if they could be made by dipping them in chocolate or something? Thanks

Zoeayn Pollard

@Christine where did you get the spiderweb little lamps on the fireplace?

Diane Letulier

if you simply can't face using vegan butter and non dairy milk (doesn't need a google search - they're in every major supermarket), just substitute butter and milk. :) But hey - might be worth trying something new too!

Maya

This is the project that FINALLY made me buy an airbrush πŸ˜‚

Jennifer Faria

I came here to say this

Peggy

I loooove these 😭❀️. I want to try them out now and in all the beautiful variety of colors of tarantula species. Also, the soundtracks for this and the pumpkin have felt so nostalgic to me. I was getting real Legend and Secret Garden vibes from them somehow. I have fallen behind in keeping up with crafts and art recently. Had the day off today and have felt so happy to reconnect with the channel.

Amanda Arnold

I love how Rachel is so "good enough", while Christine is "patience and perfection." It's a wonderful mix!

Racheal Jones

Just watched Rachel Masky do this on YouTube....hilarious.

Willow Birch

These are just beautiful! The music is awesome as well!!!

Margaux Allard

No idea why but I wanted to see you eat it SO BAD πŸ˜‚

Fia Kavanagh

These are arachnological (goose bump inducing) perfection (of course because Christine did it), which is why I can't make them. I know that tarantulas and most spiders are considered harmless, but my brain irrationally always equates them with being cringe-inducing shamans of doom and scariness. The Bo Burnham song β€œSpider” pretty much sums me up. If I made these cookies I would forget completely and waltz clumsily into my kitchen to make my cup of joe the next morning with a bit of dreams still in my eyes, only to look out over our kitchen counter and see the perceived threat of 20 pointy pairs of fangs. I would squeak out a blood curdling screech to the heavens like an adrenaline pumped banshee, and If I could even find the words I would probably shout at my husband from the kitchen (something he’s heard many times before) β€œAHHHHHH holy s----- what the f------are those?! Call the f----------- exterminator!” or simply, in the case of 20 (albeit cookie) tarantulas, β€œBurn the condo down!” The neighbors would then peer suspiciously toward our home over their morning coffee, with their eyes widened to the sound of screams. They would think "Well, something terrible must have happened to that strange woman..." and presto, we are now "The 'Burbs'" Klopeks of our neighborhood. XD Happy spooky season everyone!

Jenny McKinsey

Lovely!! πŸ–€πŸ•ΈπŸ•―πŸŽƒ

Colleen Diane Sakane

Delightfully horrifying. πŸ˜±πŸ•·πŸ˜Š

Anika Gonzalez

I’m wondering do you chill the dough every so often because shortbread is best baked chilled. So with all the fiddling I can imagine they don’t stay cold.

Mandy Arnold

Good idea! I'll have to try that. Thank you Juls

Melissa

I was really trying to imagine if I'd even be able to pick one up, let alone eat one. I did wonder if she'd take a bite at then end as well...

Juls Mei

You could try to pause the video/screen shot and just trace hers from the computer screen, like a light box

Juls Mei

I think I’ll stick to a cookie mold using your recipe, but it will nowhere come near the absolute perfection of these πŸ•·

Kimberly H.

Me too!

Leslie Langenegger

I love your spiders! Your dress was beautiful also!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Very Good. Would love to see an episode creating one of your beautiful gowns or dresses.. I love your style!

Dianna Porretta

Wow! What an incredible creation!! I can taste them now. You are always worth the wait C Mc C. Howwwwwwll!!!!

Enrique Rivera

From my part of the kitchen, I’m going to open a package of Halloween Oreos and call it a day!

Welikemeatloaf

Cripes, this is nuts! I’m exhausted just watching it! If anyone makes these, please post how successful you were. T

Welikemeatloaf

Thank you!

Wendy Exley

CREEPY cookies! I'm not crazy about spiders, but these I could deal with. I'm imagining them positioned around a cake--or a haunted gingerDEAD house? ;-)

Tammy R Dowden

Ooooo so creepy! I love them. The shaved chocolate hair really brought it all together! And was that new music at the end, Grant? Wonderfully eerie!

Racheal Jones

In other projects I believe she said she preferred Miyoko's

Melissa

The new music towards the end of the episode was hauntingly wonderful! and I can't believe Christine completes projects that are so technical and time consuming IN BETWEEN large projects. it's insane that this was a "small" project to tide us over. She never ceases to blow my mind

Brittany Male

@christinemcconnell, what is your preferred brand of plant based butter?

Wendy Exley

Christine, you are so zen. You are truly the Mrs. Rogers of your very own spooky and kooky wonderful realm. Loved the spiders… πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

Dora Villanueva

So creepy and fun! I just love all the detail.

Jane Good

So amazing!!

Aimee G

I'll be honest, my arachnophobia kicked into high gear, and I can't imagine seeing one on a plate in front of me, but I enjoyed this episode very much!

Mji X

yeahhhh

Kitty Baumont

Love this! Wished I could have seen one being eaten!!!

Karina Lanza

Would you ever consider filming in 4k? I love to see all the detail in your craft!

Wendy Ho

I just like saying pedipalp now

Jenna Windham

I was literally just wondering how you did these the other day because I wanted to make them for Halloween! And plant based too, I'm so excited to try these, Thank you!

Sarah Kane

They look so excellent!

VStreet

So realistic and I love that you bake plant based and the music makes them come to life even more! Is the guard around the mixer to protect curious kitty paws?

Allison Pagano-Speers

They looked awesome and totally like tarantulas! As always your attention to detail is bar none!

Anna Radaelli

lol I was like...hmmm...am I able to watch this without my skin crawling haha

Elinor Lee

My 12 yo son and I watched this and now all he wants to do is try to make these. He said that they look exactly like their pet tarantula at school. And, I love,love,love that you know your anatomy (from an anatomy professor ❀️)

Kristin Wright

Omg I love these and can't wait to try making them! Christine you are the best and you and this community bring so much joy to my life ❀️ I can't get my drawing quite right. Christine would you consider maybe offering a template those of us who aren't able to draw, could print out and use? Anything else crafty or creative I can usually wing but drawing more than a stick figure always comes out demented and weird.

Melissa

Always in awe at the attention to detail. Once again, thank you for quality content. Especially during the best month of the year. πŸŽƒπŸ’€

Paige Phoa

Lol me 2!

Charlotte du Plessis

Creepiest cookies ever! These are amazing πŸ–€πŸ•·

Brenda Fairbanks

considering that I am arachnophobic, I'm surprised I made it thru this LOL Very cool tho.

Elinor Lee

Oh I love theseπŸ–€ I feel like you’re really back to your roots with these, they’re dreadfully adorable πŸ•·οΈπŸ•ΈοΈ

Karysa HorrorHoneysKitchen

You are so talented Christine! These Tarantula cookies are beautiful and wonderfully creepy! The process looks somewhat daunting, but I love a challenge, so I'm 100 % going to try making them. The local goblins will just go berserk over them, even if they even just look close to the way they are supposed to. I'll keep trying until nobody says "what is that supposed to look like"? LOL Thanks!

Lisa Kay Brown

Love!!

Amanda Williams

Very amazing.

robin dewelles

Such creepy,gross,amazing and beautiful spider cookies! Only a spider created by the mind of Christine McConnell could be described this way! Thank you for the great video!
