Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Ball (either storebought or homemade.) Here is one of my favorite recipes, or you can also just mix Ranch Dip flavor with a block or two of cream cheese, depending on the size you want your spider to be.
Chia or black sesame seeds
16 small pretzel sticks (two for each leg)
Black olives or raisins for the eyes
Optional: Crackers, pretzels, or favorite dippers
Instructions
Divide the cheese ball into a large ball for the body and a smaller ball for the head. Make 6 small balls for the “knees”.
Roll in chia or black sesame seeds, pressing to adhere. For best results, chill in the refrigerate for two hours so it isn’t so soft.
Create the spider legs from 2 plain pretzel sticks; connect pretzels with “knees” and angle into the body.
For eyes, attach black olive halves with a dab of cream cheese.
If not serving immediately, keep in refrigerator until serving time so they Spider Cheese Ball doesn’t get too soft.
