I love an easy and fun recipe that celebrates a holiday. These spider crackers definitely fit the bill! They are more fun and spooky and are made with just a handful of ingredients: 

  • Ritz crackers
  • Pumpkin spice cream cheese
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Candy eyes

Tips for making halloween spider crackers

Now, you may have noticed that these spider treats only have 6 legs and spiders have 8 legs. We found that using 6 legs fit better inside the sandwich. If you would prefer to have it be more accurate, you could totally squish in an extra pretzel stick leg on each side, just scoot the legs closer together. You may need to play around with adding a bit more cream cheese to hold them in place, if they start to fall out.
