Transform everyday snacks into creepy-crawly treats with this straightforward guide. By trimming pretzel twists and attaching them to mini donuts with a touch of melted chocolate or frosting, you can quickly assemble charming spider figures topped with candy eyes. This activity is ideal for children looking to make a fun, edible Halloween decoration.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Take a large pretzel twist and slice away both of its rounded edges with a sharp knife.
  2. Gently press the straight ends of eight pretzel pieces into the top of a mini donut to create the spider's legs. Apply steady, light pressure to avoid breaking the pretzels.
  3. Warm a small amount of chocolate chips inside a resealable plastic bag, or fill the bag with frosting. Snip a tiny corner off the bag and squeeze a dot of the mixture onto the donut, then attach two M&Ms to serve as eyes.
