Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces round crackers
- 0.5 cups peanut butter (or cream cheese for allergies)
- 32 pieces pretzel sticks
- 32 pieces mini chocolate chips
- 32 pieces candy eyes
Instructions
Lay 8 round crackers on a clean work surface. These will serve as the base of your spiders.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (or cream cheese) onto each cracker using a butter knife.
Break the pretzel sticks in half to create 'spider legs.' Insert four pretzel halves on each side of the cracker, pressing them gently into the peanut butter to hold them in place.
Place another cracker on top of the peanut butter layer to create a 'sandwich,' gently pressing down to secure the pretzel legs.
Spread a small dab of peanut butter on top of the upper cracker near the edge to attach the candy eyes.
Firmly press two candy eyes into the peanut butter on each spider snack to complete the spooky look.
Decorate with mini chocolate chips if desired, using a small dab of peanut butter to attach them at random spots on the top cracker.
Repeat the process for all the crackers and serve your Spooky Spider Snacks for an eerie and delicious treat!
