Ingredients
Directions
- Take two round crackers and spread a thick layer of cream cheese, peanut butter, or almond butter on each. Make sure the spread is thick enough to hold the legs in place, and avoid runny consistencies.
- Break 4 pretzel sticks in half to create 8 smaller pieces.
- Position the 8 broken pretzel pieces around the edge of one cracker so they look like spider legs.
- Carefully place the second cracker on top, pressing down gently to sandwich the pretzel legs between the two crackers without shifting them.
- Dip two pieces of dried fruit (raisins, blueberries, cranberries, or mini chocolate chips) into the spread and attach them to the top cracker as spider eyes.
- Serve the spider snacks right away or within a few hours for the best texture.
- Tip: For a sun design instead of a spider, arrange more pretzel sticks around the cracker in a circular pattern.
