Servings: 12

Prep Time: 20 min.

Ingredients

3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup non-fat powdered milk
Graham crackers
Raisins or currants
Pretzel sticks

Tip: It's easier to work with the peanut butter if it's at room temperature. Unsalted pretzel sticks will work well with this fun treat.

Directions

Step 1
In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter with the honey and the powdered milk. The mixture should form a dough. Place on your work space.
Step 2
Use three-quarters of the dough to make balls the size of walnuts. Form the remaining dough into smaller-sized balls.
Step 3
Lay the graham crackers on your work surface. Place a large ball and a small one on each graham cracker. Cut the raisins or currants in half and place them on the small ball for eyes.
Step 4
Break pretzel sticks into desired lengths, then push in four pretzel sticks on each side of the spider's body to make legs.

Tip: Let your child experiment with different pretzel lengths to create a wacky spider.
