Halloween spider crackers make the best finger foods and Halloween treats. I’ve surprised the kids with them for a fun and different after-school snack. This recipe includes peanut butter so if you have a food allergy to peanuts consider substituting peanut butter for cream cheese or making these savory Halloween spider cookies instead.

These spider treats are the perfect not-so-scary Halloween snack. They are adorable and simple to make and kids get very excited to taste them. I love to serve them at Halloween parties as one of the finger foods.
