Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or corn syrup (as a natural binder)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Black licorice or edible black gel for decorating
- Mini chocolate chips or M&Ms for spider eyes
- Optional: colorful sprinkles or candy decorations for extra festive fun
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and honey in a large bowl until smooth to create the sticky base.
- Add powdered sugar gradually and mix until a firm dough forms.
- Shape the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip a fork or toothpick into the melted chocolate and drizzle over the cookie balls to form spider legs.
- Place mini chocolate chips or M&Ms on top of each for spider eyes, adding small dots of black gel if desired.
- Use licorice strips or gel to create web patterns or additional spider legs for a spooky effect. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- Chill the cookie balls before decorating for better shape retention.
- Use colored icing instead of melted chocolate for a no-melt option.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
