Spooky Raisin Spiders
If you need a great treat for tomorrow, you definitely need to make these Spooky Raisin Spiders. As I learned from the California Raisins blog, this treat costs just 40 cents per serving and has an equivalent to a serving of fruit!
1/2 cup California raisins
1/3 cup Almond or Peanut Butter
3 tablespoons Honey
3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 3/4 cups cups brown rice crispy cereal
1 oz semi sweet chocolate, melted
96 tiny thin black licorice strips
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
24 small candies or frosting for eyes
Place raisins, almond butter, honey, and cocoa powder in a food processor and process until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a larger bowl and stir in cereal. Press mixture into 12 balls and press lightly onto a foil or wax paper lined baking sheet.
Spread a small amount of melted chocolate on the bottom of each ball and slide 8 small pieces of licorice under each to form the spider legs. Refrigerate until firm.
Stir a few drops of water into powdered sugar to make a thick mixture to “glue” eyes onto the spiders.
We had fun making these and so will you!

Yummy. I love anything with peanut butter. My kids are allergic which basically means more for me.
