1. I’ve never heard of them. I’m guessing they’re not common, but perhaps some communities make them.

2. No but those sound delicious

3. That’s not a thing I’ve ever heard of

4. Need the recipe, We do now

5. Haven’t personally heard of them until this post.

6. No. Where is this done?

7. I’ve seen this with peanut butter instead of chocolate somewhere, but I don’t remember it being a Christmas thing

8. Never.

   Curious where you’re from as I’ve never heard of that.

9. I’ve had them before but I don’t associate them with Christmas.

11. No but my family will next Halloween, which is more of a chocolate holiday.

12. Make what now?

13. I had to Google it.

    Turns out my friend made these last night and gave me a few. I had no idea they were called chocolate spiders. I believe she calls them chocolate haystacks.

    Not the most glamorous shot but there it is.

14. I’ve never heard of that.

15. No. I can confidently say I’ve never heard of anyone making them anywhere, or of them in general.

16. A staple for the holidays with my parents, but they always called them “[Chinese New Year cookies.](https://www.chocolateslopes.com/chinese-new-year-cookies/)”

    Looks like it’s not that common of a name for them though, that was the only one when I googled it that actually looked like them.
