Yield: 1 serving
Serving Size: 1 "spider"
Prep Time: 15 minutes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
- 2 multigrain or reduced- fat circular crackers
- Approximately 1 Tbsp veggie dip
- 8 julienne-cut strips of your favorite veggie— try carrots, bell peppers, celery, or zucchini
- Optional: ingredients for the spider’s eyes and mouth—try raisins or sun-dried tomatoes
Equipment:
- Knife
- Spoon
- Zip-top bag
Directions:
- Spread veggie dip on one side of both crackers.
- Give your spider legs by placing eight strips of your favorite veggie in the veggie dip on one cracker.
- Place the second cracker on top of the first cracker with the spider legs, so that all the veggie dip is inside the spider’s body.
- Optional: Use the veggie dip to attach the raisins, sun-dried tomatoes, or strips of your veggie to create your spider’s eyes (all eight!) and mouth.
To Serve:
Pack your spider in a zip-top bag so that it does not crawl away!
