Spider Web Brownie Batter Hummus Dip & Cookie Spiders
To make the Spider Web Brownie Batter Hummus Dip: Spread the Brownie Batter Hummus into a small serving bowl. Melt the white melting wafers according to package directions and place in a resealable plastic baggie. Cut a small piece off of the corner of the baggie and squeeze it onto the hummus in a spiral, starting from the middle of the hummus. Using a toothpick, create the web look by pulling the white chocolate from the center to the outer part of the serving bowl, line by line, all the way around. Break three pretzel sticks in half and cut the top part of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Attach the pretzel sticks to the peanut butter cup to make it look like a spider and then place the miniature peanut butter cup spider on top of the decorated Spider Web Brownie Batter Hummus Dip.
To make the Cookie Spiders break three pretzel sticks in half and insert them into the cream filling of the cream-filled cookies. Using melted white chocolate, adhere two Reese’s pieces to the top of the cookie.
Strawberry Ghosts, Celery Mummies and Witches Brooms (oh, my!)
To make Strawberry Ghosts: Wash strawberries and set aside to dry. Melt white melting wafers according to package directions. Grab one strawberry at a time by the green leaf and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Remove and let excess white chocolate drip back into the bowl. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately attach mini chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth. Let set to harden.
To Make the Celery Mummies: Wash, dry and cut celery stalks into 4” pieces. Fill each celery piece with ½ tablespoon of creamy peanut butter. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Melt white melting wafers according to package instructions and drizzle onto peanut butter filled celery to create the “mummy look”. Press two mini chocolate chips into the peanut butter to create the eyes.
To Make the Witches Brooms: Stick one pretzel stick into the middle of the bottom of a miniature peanut butter cup.
How to Make the Kid-Friendly Halloween Snack Board
First, prepare the Strawberry Ghosts, Celery Mummies, and Witches Brooms. Then make the Spider Web Brownie Batter Hummus Dip and Cookie Spiders.

Pile the baked cheese crackers, pretzel twists, cheese cubes, and veggie chips on the other half of the board. Wash, dry and thinly slice the green apple and place it on the board. Serve and enjoy!
