Trick or treat! Halloween season is finally here, which means you have an excuse to make adorable treats like these Creepy Crawly Spider Sandwiches. Give the kids a fright when they open their lunch box to find spiders crawling around! We used pretzel rods to make the tastiest spider legs you've ever seen, and chocolate chips for the cutest eyes ever. You'll feel great knowing each sandwich is only 172 calories, yet packs seven grams of protein!

Pro tips:

  • Use your kid's favorite nut butter if you don't want to use peanut butter, or even add jelly to make a "bloody" spider!
  • Serve alongside our Pretzel Spider Webs for an extra spooky treat!
