"I have made this twice using a 7lb. standing rib roast and both times it brought rave revues. Great recipe.

"Did you all really have an easy time with this recipe? My caramel was soft and it did not firm up as expected. (although I let it boil at the temperature indicated) I waited 5 minutes for the caramel to cool before I started assembling the spiders but it ran and the pecans spread out. Nothing I did remedied the problem. I think they could be cute but I did not have fun. Tasted good but came out like globs of stuff with licorice sticking out of the sides.
