PRETZEL SPIDERS - HEALTHY HALLOWEEN TREATS FOR KIDS

Steps:

• If you're using regular, dry dates, pour boiling water over them then let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water.
• Remove the pits from the dates and add all the ingredients into a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
• Pulse all the ingredients and mixed and they resemble a coarse 'crumble'. The mixture doesn't have to be completely smooth.
• Scoop some dough and roll into small balls.
• Cut the pretzels in half and attach as the 'legs'.
• Insert the pine nuts ('eyes') into the balls.
• Enjoy!

• Take the melted wafers and pour them into a ziplock bag. Snip the tip off and swirl the chocolate around the pretzels creating a spiral effect.
• Put a blog in the center to hold everything together and then dot the ends of the pretzels as well.
• Add on fun Halloween sprinkles.

PRETZEL SPIDER WEBS

Steps:

• Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In sets of 8, arrange the pretzel sticks into the spokes of 10 webs, with the centers touching and the outer edges spaced.
• Melt the melting wafers according to the package instructions, approximately 2 minutes in a microwave or 3 to 5 minutes over a double boiler. Transfer to a piping bag and cut the tip to create a small hole.
• Pipe a small amount of the melted candy onto the center of each web where the pretzels meet; this will hold the webs together. Then pipe a web pattern by starting in the center and spiraling out to the edges. Go around the outer edges a couple times to create a firm border. Carefully spoon over the sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining webs.
• Place chocolate spiders in the center, if using. Let set 1 hour.
