Cocoa Krispies Spider Treats

Sharing is caring!

This past weekend the kids and I whipped up a batch of our favorite Cocoa Krispie Spider Treats. They are super easy to make, the kids can help and they turn out so cute. These make a great after-school snack or a Halloween party snack.

3. Press the marshmallow eyes on the krispie rounds.

4. Flatten Vanilla Tootsie Rolls and cut out triangle shaped fangs and press onto krispie rounds.

5. Take 8 pretzel sticks and gently stick into the sides of the rounds to make the legs. *HINT: To make it easier without breaking the pretzel sticks, poke a hole where each leg should be with the cake pop sticks first, and then insert the pretzel sticks.

6. With the black food gel icing, make a dot on each marshmallow eye to complete the eyes. Makes 12 spiders.
