Halloween is almost here! We had the “kids” here this weekend so I decided to make some fun spider treats. These Black Widow Peanut Butter Bars from the Half-Baked Harvest blog were so delectable and just so darn cute!
So easy and so fun to make! The cookies start with a peanut butter bar base (no mixer required). Once baked, you top the cookies with creamy peanut butter – which melts into the base. Once that has set, you add a layer of rich and fudgy chocolate frosting. This would be a party worthy treat! To create the spider web, you melt marshmallows and then pull them in different directions over the frosting.
Can spiders be adorable? These “not so itsy bitsy spiders” are fun to make. Melt chocolate (I used chocolate wafers) and then pipe two dots on parchment paper. Put a chocolate whopper on each dot. Then draw legs on each side with the chocolate, and sprinkle with edible glitter or sprinkles. Use melted chocolate or frosting to attach the eyes. Place the tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes to harden. Then just peel the spiders off and place on their web.
Just too cute! Next time I would have the technique down a little better, but experimenting is half the fun.
Don’t these look like a fun treat to make with the kids or grandkids?
Plus – if you love peanut butter and chocolate – you will love the taste of these! Super delicious!
Super simple spiders! Just stick pretzel sticks into Oreo cookies and top with candy eyes. Candy eyes make everything more fun!
Add your spiders to a tray of Halloween treats. Happy Halloween and Happy Fall!
