  • 48 candy eyes

  • Spread the Peanut Butter:
    • On half of the Ritz crackers, spread a generous amount of peanut butter (or chocolate spread) evenly.
  • Assemble the Spiders:
    • Place one Ritz cracker on top of the peanut butter-coated cracker to create a sandwich. Repeat for all crackers.

    • Insert four chocolate-covered pretzel twists on each side of the cracker sandwich to serve as spider legs.
  • Decorate with Eyes:
    • Dot a small amount of peanut butter (or chocolate spread) on the top of each cracker sandwich and gently press two candy eyes into place to create the spider’s face.
  • Optional Drizzle:
    • If desired, melt chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle over the assembled spiders for extra flair.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Place the spiders in the refrigerator for a few minutes to set. Serve on a spooky platter for Halloween fun!
