Bug Bites

Peanut butter makes these creepy crawlers fun to eat and "dissect."

You'll need:

• 10 small round crackers
• 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
• 15 small pretzel sticks
• 10 raisins or dried cranberries

Spread peanut butter on five crackers. Use the other five crackers for the top of the cracker sandwiches. Break the pretzel sticks in half and stick six legs inside each cracker sandwich. Use two dots of peanut butter on top of each sandwich to stick the raisins on for bug's eyes. Makes five bug bites.

 

Giant Spiders

Great-tasting finger food with legs! Kids will gobble them up and get a serving of fruits or vegetables!

You'll need:

• 5 Banana bread or zucchini bread muffins (large or small)
• 40 thin licorice sticks (or cut thick ones into strips)

Handful of raisins, blueberries or chocolate chips
Turn cooled muffin upside down and insert eight long licorice sticks (four on each side). Attach raisins, blueberries or chocolate chips for eyes (a dab of peanut butter will hold them in place).

Bug Juice

Add these bug ice cubes to a glass of apple juice or a punch bowl for a hair-raising surprise.

You'll need:

• 1 small box of raisins
• water
• ice cube tray

Put one or two raisins in each section of an ice cube tray and fill with water. Keep the tray in the freezer for at least four hours or until the ice cubes are hard. Makes enough for eight glasses.

Spider Web Cookies

Use chocolate wafer cookies from the ice cream aisle to create your web. Add extra screams by adding a gummy spider to each web.

You'll need:

• 1 package flat chocolate wafer cookies (found in the ice cream aisle)
• 1-2 tubes white icing or decorator gel (with thin tip) toothpicks

Using decorator icing or gel, draw a tiny circle in the middle of a chocolate wafer cookie. Outside of the circle, draw a larger circle, and continue to do so until you have drawn about four circles extending all the way to the outside of the cookie. Using a toothpick, start in the center on the mini-circle and draw straight lines to the outer edge of the cookie. Do this about four to six times around the cookie to make a web-like look over the cookie.
