Spookalicious Spiders!

I use the Nutrition First Brownie Mix to create this fun and simple Halloween treat. The ones pictured here use thick black licorice cut into thin strips and Skittles™ Candy. They are much scarier using shoestring licorice ropes for legs and Red Hot™ candies for eyes!! 

- 1 package NF Brownie Mix – Prepare according to instructions on package (you need 3 eggs + 8 tbsp margarine);

- 4 Black Licorice shoestring ropes (cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces);

- Red Hot™ candies for eyes;

- Unsweetened strawberry or raspberry jam.

Prepare Nutrition First Brownie Mix according to instructions on package. 

Using 3/4 oz scoop – deposit brownie batter onto lined baking sheet – flatten each dollop with the back of a spoon.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool and remove from baking sheet.

To make spiders, spread layer of jam onto the bottom surface of one brownie, place 4 licorice spider legs on each side and top with a second cookie. For eyes, use a dab of jam to affix two Red Hot candies to top of spider.

Makes about 15 to 18 brownie Spiders.
