PREP: 15 minutes
TOTAL: 15 minutes
Servings: 12 Spiders
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: No-Bake

Ingredients
  

  • 24 round crackers or oat biscuits like digestive or oatmeal cookies
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese or nut butter for the filling
  • 1/4 cup jam jelly, or chocolate spread (optional for flavor)
  • 96 mini pretzel sticks 8 per spider
  • 24 raisins or chocolate chips for the eyes

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare the base. Spread cream cheese, nut butter, or your chosen filling onto 12 crackers/cookies. Add a thin layer of jam or chocolate spread if you like extra flavor.
  2. Add the legs. Place 4 pretzel sticks on each side of the cracker to form spider legs.
  3. Assemble the spiders. Top with another cracker/cookie to create a sandwich, pressing gently so the filling holds the legs in place.
  4. Add the eyes. Dab a tiny bit of filling on top of each spider and press two raisins or chocolate chips into place for eyes.
  5. Serve. Arrange your creepy-cute spiders on a platter for a fun Halloween treat.

Notes

  • Refrigerator: Store assembled spiders in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Add eyes later: Add raisin or chocolate eyes right before serving for the freshest look.
  • Avoid soggy legs: Store crackers and pretzels separately if making ahead, and assemble on the day of serving.
