If you’re looking for a spooky snack idea for the kids, try these cute Dead Spider Halloween Treats.
Made using chocolate rice cakes and topped with dark chocolate legs and red-veined candy eyes, this easy recipe is perfect for your next Halloween party.
The delicious creepy crawlies will make a fun addition to any lunchbox. You can also enjoy them as part of a dessert platter, along with your favorite Halloween candy or some white chocolate ghosts.
