We had a halloween bake sale at work this week, which inspired me to create a spider version of the classic hershey's peanut blossom cookies. Taste is usually one of my biggest focuses when baking, however with halloween this weekend, I wanted something to fit the theme as well. When I first googled for halloween baked goods, I found that many of the recipes didn't look very tasty, and seemed like they took way too much effort decoration wise (like complicated iced sugar cookies!). Then luckily I stumbled upon some pictures of similar peanut butter spider cookies, and knew I had found a winner.
The base recipe for these - the classic hershey's peanut blossom - is delicious, and should be a staple in your recipe book. I used nerds for eyes (I do not have the time to fashion my own candy eyes!), and just piped on melted chocolate for legs. The decorating aspect of it only added about 10 minutes to the whole process. So if you have a halloween party coming up this weekend, get baking! Happy Halloween!
