Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Decorations
- Halved pretzel sticks, for legs
- Mini vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips, for eyes
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and flour until fully combined into a dough.
- Shape Dough: Pour some flour into a pie pan and begin to roll small balls of the peanut butter dough to prevent sticking.
- Freeze Dough: Place the peanut butter balls on a tray and freeze for about 1 hour until firm.
- Add Decorations: Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and carefully insert three halved pretzel sticks on each side to create spider legs. Press two mini vegan chocolate chips onto each ball to form the eyes.
- Optional Refrigeration: Refrigerate the decorated spiders further if you’d like them to harden more for easier handling.
- Serve: Enjoy the peanut butter spiders chilled or at room temperature for a softer texture. Serve in mini cupcake cases with napkins for convenience.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for easier mixing and shaping; if too soft, add a thickener to stiffen the dough.
- Chilling the dough makes rolling into balls easier and less sticky.
- Serve chilled for a firmer texture, or at room temperature for softer, stickier spiders.
- Serving the spiders in mini cupcake cases helps manage mess and makes them easier to eat.
