Peanut Butter and Jelly Spiders

Halloween is almost here! At this time of the year I like to get creative with my kids’ lunch boxes. I made these cute Halloween inspired mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Spiders. 

These peanut butter and jelly spiders are fun to prepare with the help of your little ones- pack them in your child’s lunch box or serve them on Halloween parties- well if you host one this year 😉

How to Make Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

It is a so easy to prepare these peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Halloween!

• Spread an even layer of peanut butter across one of the bread rounds. 
• Spread an even layer of jelly across the other side of the bread round.
