Trick-or-treating (or any day) is more fun when it starts with a spooky snack, like these PB&J spiders. This is a great alternative to candy, and your kids can have fun with their food!

Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 6 whole wheat English muffins
• 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 6 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 48 small pretzel sticks
• 12 chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Have a platter ready for the finished “spiders.”
2. Split and toast the English muffins, and spread each with about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and a tablespoon of strawberry jam.
3. Arrange 8 pretzels, 4 on each side radiating outward, on the bottom half of each English muffin to make 8 legs.
4. Top with the other halves of the muffins.
5. Make eyes on top by placing two chocolate chips on each English muffin; they should melt a little and adhere to the muffin. Serve warm.
