Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup strawberry jelly
Decorations
- 48 pretzel sticks
- 16 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the bread slices: Place the bread slices on a cutting board. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out the center of each slice into circles. Set the cut-out circles aside for assembling the sandwiches.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread peanut butter on four of the bread circles and jelly on the other four. Carefully sandwich the peanut butter slices with the jelly slices, ensuring the spreads are enclosed between the bread pieces.
- Add the spider legs: Insert three pretzel sticks on each side of the sandwich to create the legs, making six legs per spider sandwich.
- Attach the eyes: Place two candy eyes on the top of each sandwich to complete the spider look.
Notes
- You can substitute the peanut butter or jelly with other spreads such as cream cheese or Nutella to suit your taste.
- Use gluten-free bread and pretzels if you need a gluten-free version.
- Ensure the candy eyes are securely attached so they don’t fall off when serving.
- For a less sticky option, use a knife to spread the peanut butter and jelly evenly.
