Ingredients

1

                        pouch Betty Crocker™ peanut butter cookie mix

3

tablespoons vegetable oil

1

tablespoon water

1

egg

36

chewy caramels in milk chocolate

Black or red string licorice

1/3

cup (72) M&M’s® minis chocolate candies

                        Betty Crocker™ black decorating gel (from 0.68-oz tube)

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until dough forms.

Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place 2 inches apart.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately press 1 chewy caramel in center of each cookie. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Cut licorice into 8 (2-inch) pieces for each spider. Attach legs by sticking into chewy caramel. Use M&M’s™ minis chocolate candies for eyes and black gel to make pupils in eyes.
