Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Equipment

  • Cutting board and small knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small saucepan and securely fitting dry double-boiler insert or heatproof bowl
  • Spoon
  • Small food-safe piping bag with a fine opening
  • Serving plate

Method
 

  1. Have both linked components ready before beginning. Make sure the spread is soft enough to spread. Cut the cold chocolate into small irregular pieces, measure it and divide it equally. Keep one half cold for the bodies.
  2. Wash and trim the celery, dry it and cut it into manageable sticks. Cut before filling and decorating so the chocolate spiders stay intact.
  3. Distribute the measured sunflower seed butter over the celery sticks. Keep a little space around the chocolate bodies for their legs.
  4. Put the other half of the chocolate in a clean, dry double-boiler insert or securely fitting heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Keep the bowl above the water and keep water out of the chocolate. Stir over gentle heat until smooth, then remove from the heat.
  5. Set three small pieces of the reserved cold chocolate along each filled celery stick as spider bodies.
  6. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small piping bag with a fine opening. Pipe little legs around each body. If the chocolate begins firming before you finish, warm it gently again until it flows; keep water out.
  7. Serve the decorated celery sticks fresh. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers promptly; keep extra spread and chocolate separately and follow their own storage directions.

Notes

Later Full GAPS: Keep this for occasional Later Full GAPS after digestive symptoms are gone. Use it after raw celery, properly prepared sunflower seeds, and all chocolate ingredients have been introduced and tolerated. This is not an Introduction Diet or early Full GAPS recipe.
Prepared components: Make the linked spread and chocolate ahead. The ten-minute assembly estimate begins with those foods ready; their soaking, fermentation, drying, cooking or chilling takes additional time as their own recipes explain.
Yield: Plan on four snack servings from eight celery ribs. The number of decorated sticks depends on how you cut the ribs.
Chocolate: Divide the measured cold pieces equally. Keep one half for bodies and melt the other half for legs over gentle double-boiler heat. Cut the cold chocolate into small irregular pieces that fit on the fruit or celery.
Ingredients: This version uses the linked plain sprouted sunflower seed butter. Its optional coconut oil stays within that component recipe.
Serving: Serve fresh and refrigerate leftovers promptly. Keep unused prepared components separately and follow their own storage directions.
