Peanut Butter Spider Cookies

spidercookiesThese are perfect for Halloween treats. You could make lots of them and give out to the trick or treaters instead of handing out auto accessories.. :)

1 pouch peanut butter cookie mix
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
36 chewy caramels in milk chocolate (like Rolo candies)
Black or red string licorice
1/3 cup (72) miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits
black decorating gel

Total Time: 30 min
1. Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg into dough.
2. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place 2 inches apart.
3. 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.
4. Cut licorice into 8 (2-inch) pieces for each spider. Attach legs by sticking into chewy caramel. Use baking bits for eyes and black gel to make pupils in eyes.

Looking

We are still looking for a place to move. Andi went and picked up her boyfriend from Pennsylvania yesterday. Now they are both looking for jobs. I hope they have better luck than I’m having.

We will all be moving in together to help with finances so there won’t be any cross country moving any time soon. We need to find at least a 3 bedroom house.. possibly 4 with a garage and hopefully either a basement or family room.

Andi is trying to find a job in the medical field and Drew is a diesel mechanic. They are both Army combat veterans and have both been in Iraq.

If anyone in Southern NJ wants a couple of good, disciplined workers then please hire my daughter and her boyfriend!
