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.

Serving Suggestions to Make These Snacks Shine!
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.
