Halloween spiders
- Recipe courtesy of Susie Burrell for Mayver’s.
- 1 1/4 cup Mayver’s crunchy peanut butter
- 3 Tbsp chocolate protein powder
- 1 Tbsp cacao powder, plus extra for rolling
- 12 medjool dates, pitted
- 32 white chocolate buttons
- Dark chocolate icing pen
- About 50 pretzels
In a food processor, combine Mayver’s peanut butter, protein powder and cacao powder and process. Add dates and process until the mixture comes together. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a few drops of water and process again.
Sprinkle a few tablespoons of cacao onto a plate. Roll the mixture into 16 balls, then roll into the cacao powder. Press two white chocolate buttons into the spiders as eyes. Use the dark chocolate icing pen to dot eyeballs in the middle of the white chocolate buttons.
Break pretzels to make curved spider legs. Press four pretzel legs into the side of every spider so they curve downwards.
Allow the spiders to set in the fridge for an hour.
