Peanut Butter Blossom Spiders

0000

Boo! I have had Halloween fever this week. I can’t believe Halloween is already next week! I baked these peanut butter blossom cookies and decided they would be even more fun with a spider on top. The spiders are just made from mini peanut butter cups and melted chocolate-drawn legs. You don’t need anything fancy to make these Halloween cookies. For my spider legs, I used a ziplock bag once the melted chocolate was cool enough, and I cut a small hole in one of the corners. Allow the chocolate to re-harden in the refrigerator while your cookies are cooling.

I am in LOVE with my new lens! If you missed it on my instagram, I recently got a new macro lens from Fabi for my DSLR. I don’t know how I have gone this long without it, but it was definitely worth the wait. Best present ever!

Now I want to know your favorite Halloween recipes! Post your best/favorite Halloween recipe below and I will re-pin to my Halloween board on Pinterest

I hope you have as much fun making these cookies as I did! Enjoy!
