I couldn’t resist sharing these Halloween Spider Cookies with you! I love how simple peanut butter cookies turn into little spiders with Reese’s peanut butter cups, chocolate frosting, and these candy googly eyes. They’re such a fun little treat to make when Halloween rolls around!

I’ve been in love with all things Halloween and fall my entire life, so whenever October comes around, we have to go all out. And these are exactly the kind of fun themed recipes I love having around for the season.

The best part is that you can use homemade or store-bought peanut butter cookies, so you can keep things as simple as you’d like. Then it’s just a matter of adding the Reese’s peanut butter cups, chocolate frosting, and googly eyes to turn them into little spiders.

If you love making fun Halloween treats, you can also find this idea in my cookbook, Celebrating Every Day! And if you’re looking for another spooky recipe to make, check out Halloween Spider Web Layered Bean Dip.
