Peanut Butter Cup Spiders

Peanut butter cup spiders are a fun, homemade treat for Halloween. Adorable peanut butter cup spiders sit on top of soft pipe cleaner legs. They are so easy to make! Perfect for a Halloween Party!

These adorable little spiders will win hearts for Halloween. Everyone loves candy for Halloween and these are such a spooky fun treat to serve!

Supplies

Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (I got a variety pack)
Pipe Cleaners
Scissors
Hot glue

Directions

Cut each pipe cleaner into four equal pieces. This is very easily done by folding the pipe cleaner in half and then cutting it. Repeat that same process with the two smaller pieces. This gives you four very similarly sizes pipe cleaner pieces.

Next, line the four pipe cleaner pieces up next to each other. In the center, twist the pipe cleaners twice. This connects the four pieces in the center perfectly creating 8 little spider legs.

Finally, place a small amount of hot glue on the center of the legs, as pictured. Don’t worry, this glue won’t ruin the chocolate inside the wrapper! Plus, it still makes the candies easy to access.

Once the glue has dried (usually in 1-2 minutes), bend the spider legs so that the spiders look like they are standing up. This is where each spider really gains some character! You can make them look like they’re walking or just standing.

Place the Peanut Butter Cup Spiders in a bowl, or line them up to look like they are marching together like little ants. One additional thing you could do is add googly eyes to your spiders. That would be so cute! They are also cute as part of a goodie bag.

My daughter likes to put them in small cellophane bags and hand the bags of spider candies out to friends. Happy Halloween!
