These peanut butter apple spiders are crawling their way into you or your monster’s lunch box this Halloween season! Not only do peanut butter and apple make a tasty and nutritious snack, but these adorably spooky spider friends will put a smile on just about anyone’s face. 

As a bonus, it is easy to make these a gluten-free Halloween snack. Just ensure you’re using GF ingredients, like Snyder’s Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks. Likewise, these can be a vegan Halloween snack too, ensure your candy eyes and chocolate chips are vegan.

Halloween Peanut Butter Apple Spiders 

I love how easily these spooky treats come together with what lots of people already have on hand! Apple and peanut butter, paired with some pretzel sticks and a few chocolate chips is an easy enough to prep school snack for a little monster. But, they’re also eye-catching and adorable as finger food at your next Halloween party.

Make these creepy-crawly delights something even more unique by adding a touch of flair to wow your guests.

  • Whip up an apple butter to serve as a delicious dip that will put these little apple spider snacks over the edge for your guests with a sweet tooth.
  • After cutting your apple slices, immediately submerse them in a mixture of honey and warm water. Stir gently and remove, you’ll be surprised how long they last before starting to turn brown. You can also use lemon juice, but in my opinion it wouldn’t jive with the peanut butter filling at all.
  • Add a thin layer of jelly to one side of the apple slice to modify these into tiny apple PB+J’s.
  • Finally, you can add a mummy-like appearance to these already spooktacular peanut butter apple spiders with a melted white chocolate drizzle to act as bandages.

Below you’ll find a detailed recipe along with ingredients for making these delicious themed snacks.
