Green Halloween

Here at Green Halloween, we’ve noticed that candy manufacturers have been gearing up for the Halloween season and are getting ready to inundate the store shelves with colorful candies and other sweet treats. While these are always fun, you can also make your very own spooky sweet treats for the Halloween party you’re hosting or attending. One of the most popular and fun treats to make are delicious peanut butter spiders. Here is the recipe to make some creepy Halloween spiders that taste great! This recipe is for one spider, so you can multiply the same recipe for each one you make.

First, take 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter (do not use crunchy), and combine it with 2 tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar and two tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs. Mix them all up until smooth and then separate the large ball of peanut butter, sugar, and crumbs into two balls. Be sure one is larger than the other, since one will be the body of the spider and one will be the head. Next, take the peanut butter balls and roll them into shredded coconut. The coconut should stick to the peanut butter, and completely cover each ball.

Take black licorice and cut it up into 8 smaller pieces. Then stick the pieces of licorice into the peanut butter balls on each side to make creepy spider legs. Or, you can use an entire piece of licorice for each leg if you desire. Use raisins or small chocolate pieces to make the eyes of the spider. You can make as many or as little spiders as you wish. Lay them out onto a tray and let your guests munch on them. These little Halloween spider treats look great, are easy to make, and taste delicious, too. It’s easy to be the hit of the party when you create these spooky and fun snacks!
