Halloween Spooky Spiders

Halloween Spooky Spiders

The kids and I have been making our Halloween Boo-nana Ghosts for over two years now. It doesn’t have to be Halloween to make them—any day of the week will do 🙂

I wanted to come up with a new Halloween-themed recipe for kids that is also simple and healthy.  I thought that I accomplished it on my first try, until I was told by my kids that, “spiders always have 8 legs, not 6!” Is that common knowledge everyone but me knew? Apparently!

These Spooky Spiders are easy and fun to create. I wrote up this recipe using hummus and cranberries/raisins for eyes (pictured above). We have also made them with chocolate hazelnut butter and chocolate chips for eyes as well (pictured below).

Create, play, and enjoy!

Ingredients:
Crackers (such as these diamond shaped or circular ones)
Hummus
Carrots, celery, bell peppers and/or cucumbers, sliced very thinly for legs
Cranberries and/or raisins, cut in half for eyes

Preparation:

  1. Spread hummus on one side of each cracker, so it’s thick enough to secure the spider’s 8 legs.
  2. Spread hummus on one side of another cracker and “sandwich” it shut.
  3. Dip the cut cranberries and/or raisins in a tiny bit of hummus and secure the spider’s eyes.
