Whether you need a last-minute Halloween dessert or a creative activity to do with the kids, these little chocolate spiders are spooky, sweet, and so easy to make!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins (or cups) – the base of the spider
Chocolate Chips or Candy Melts – to “glue” everything together
Candy eyes – for the spooky spider look
Pretzel sticks– for the spider legs
Step-by-Step Instructions
Unwrap the peanut butter cups: Place them on a flat surface or a parchment-lined tray.
Attach the legs: Break pretzel sticks in small pieces. Use melted chocolate to stick them to the sides of the peanut butter cup. Each spider should have 8 legs.
Add the eyes: Place a small dot of chocolate on the back of the candy eyes and attach them to the front of the peanut butter cup.
Let them set: Allow the chocolate to firm up for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
That’s it—you’ve got an adorable (and delicious) Halloween treat ready to go!
Tips for Success
Work in batches: If you’re making a lot, line them up on a baking sheet for easier assembly.
Use a piping bag: A small piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off makes attaching eyes and legs super easy.
Make them ahead: You can prepare these a day in advance and store them in an airtight container.
Fun Variations
Use different candy bases like Oreos, Rolos, or peanut butter cookies.
Swap in colored candy melts (orange, purple, or green) for a festive twist.
Let kids decorate with extra sprinkles, mini M&M’s, or colored frosting.
