Real cute! Though they didn’t really look like spiders, everyone loved them!
Be sure to watch the video. The directions do not tell you to crush pretzels or save some chocolate for the body
Yes the video is very different from the instructions. Microwave is the way to go. I made it very easy and they turned out great and everyone ate them up. Buy rold gold pretzel sticks they are a little smaller. I didn’t break any of the pretzels. I put them all into the melted chocolate and PB. I stacked 4 coated pretzels randomly to make 8 legs. I made a little more chocolate & PB and put a tiny plop in the center of the stacked legs for the bodies. Made a ton of spiders in a short time. Very tasty
Great taste but too much work. I quickly got tired of making the legs (it is much more time consuming than the recipe states) so I made lots of smaller clusters and six spiders. Be sure to watch the video before attempting!
So glad I read the comments. Now I think I know how to make the spider bites since everyone shared what was missing.
I’ll try them as soon as I reach my goal weight.
I WILL NEVER BE MAKING THESE AGAIN!!! Directions are incomplete and video was not working. How can you post a recipe and not explain the detail of breaking up the pretzels and reserving whole pretzel sticks to use as legs. Extremely poor for Food Network to even post this!!! And to say to use your hands to grab pretzel sticks and drop them on the baking sheet in clusters. REALLY??? How are they supposed to look like spiders. This recipe should never have been posted this way. Extremely disappointed!!!
WATCH the video!! The recipe doesn’t include an important direction: break up the pretzels!!!! I did not know this and wasted my time and the ingredients expecting to be able to stack these sticks… they looked more like a camp fire than a spider.
Creating the spider is a pain in the rear, so I just opted to have chocolate pretzels that I just dropped on the sheets instead. That worked good enough to eat, but didn’t achieve the spider look.
Food Network fail!!
This recipe is nothing like the video. Totally misrepresentation of what Sandra does on the video. Was the intern just too tired to transcribe the video? The pictures are not even close to what the finished product is on the video. Use your clean hands? Yet the video, Sandra uses spoons! C’mon!
That being said, they are peanut butter chocolate pretzel clusters. Tasty.
On the whole this is a good recipe if the idea of spider was not there, then this is a good snack. My kids love it. In fact I served it as a snack to my friends by not giving it any shape.and they enjoyed it and it was a big hit.
