Spooky Spider Cookies
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES TURN INTO THE PERFECT CREEPY TREAT! These are just the cutest little Halloween treats that everyone will go crazy for. These would be perfect for a Halloween party for kids and the adults. The eyeballs on these really brings them to life. You can find them in any local craft store that carries baking items or on Amazon. The kids will be very excited to bite right into these spiders! I used Whoppers candies for the body but you could also use a Reese’s mini if you wanted even more peanut butter. I hope you love these spooky spider cookies.

Okay, first of all your new blog is gorgeous! I love everything about it. Second… I had no idea you were a teacher! I taught First Grade before my oldest son was born. We are twins separated at birth, lady! 😉 I have missed checking out your indulgent treats. It looks like you have been busy while I’ve been gone! Your spider cookies are darling. Nicely done!
