Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Strawberry (or any flavor) jelly
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
- 24 pieces Pretzel sticks
- 16 pieces Candy eyeballs
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture forms a firm, moldable dough.
Take a small amount of dough (about 2 tablespoons) and roll it into a ball. Flatten it slightly to form the body of the spider.
Using your thumb, press a small indent into the center of the flattened ball to create a cavity for the jelly.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of jelly into the cavity, then carefully pinch the dough around the jelly to seal it inside. Roll the ball gently between your palms to smooth it out. Repeat for all spiders.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. If needed, stir in the coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier coating.
Use a fork or candy dipping tool to dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Break each pretzel stick into thirds to create spider legs. While the chocolate coating is still wet, gently press four pretzel pieces into each side of the peanut butter ball to form the legs.
Add two candy eyeballs to the front of each spider while the chocolate is still soft.
Place the spiders in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve and enjoy your spooky, delicious Peanut Butter Jelly Filled Spiders!
