Main Ingredients
- 2 white or wheat bread slices
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp grape jelly (or your choice of jelly)
- 8 thin pretzel sticks
- 2 candy eyeballs
- Prepare the Bread: Place the two slices of bread on a flat surface and spread 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly on one slice.
- Add Jelly: Spread 1 tablespoon of grape jelly or your preferred jelly over the peanut butter layer.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second bread slice on top to complete your peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
- Create Spider Legs: Insert four pretzel sticks on each side of the sandwich to represent the spider’s legs. Push them gently into the edges of the bread so they stay in place.
- Add Candy Eyes: Attach two candy eyeballs on top of the sandwich. You can use a small dab of peanut butter as glue to make sure they stick properly.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich if desired and serve immediately for a tasty, fun, and spooky snack.
Notes
- You can use any type of jelly or jam depending on your preference.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread and pretzels.
- If you want to avoid peanut butter due to allergies, substitute with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
- Candy eyeballs can be found in baking supply stores or online.
- Make sure to supervise children while eating pretzels to avoid choking hazards.
