Ingredients

2 slices bread white or wheat
1-2 Tbsp peanut butter
1-2 Tbsp jelly or jam
8 pretzel sticks
2 candy eyes or chocolate chips
1 strand licorice

Instructions

Spread peanut butter and jelly onto two slices of bread to form a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Use a round cookie cutter or lid to cut out a circle shape from the center of your sandwich. Remove scraps.
Insert eight pretzel sticks in between the two round slices of bread (four on each side) to form spider's legs.
With dabs of extra peanut butter, use an extra pretzel stick to secure or "glue" two candy eyes and a licorice mouth to your spider.

Notes

- If you don't have a round cookie cutter, use the lid of a mason jar or the rim of a glass to cut out your spider's round body.

- To avoid wasting peanut butter and jelly, center your fillings on the bread before cutting out your circle.

- If PB&J isn't your kids' favorite, swap peanut butter and jelly for any sandwich filling they'd like!

- For a sweeter treat, use Nutella in your sandwich instead of PB&J.

- Make this spooky snack gluten-free by using gluten-free bread and pretzel sticks.

- To get kids involved, lay out ingredients so kids can assemble these Halloween spider sandwiches on their own.
