Spider Eggs

Spider Eggs
Today I wanted to bring you all another Halloween recipe with Spider Eggs. Sounds gross at first, right? But look at them…who knew spiders could be so precious?

These would be such a fun treat to make with your kids then serve at your Halloween party. They would take such pride in helping assemble them and would be more likely to give them a try (if you have picky eaters on your hands). And they will be a hit with the adults too! They are a great appetizer to start out your Halloween themed meal.

Before we get to the recipe, let me tell you some tips for making the perfect hard boiled egg. First, place the eggs in a pot then cover them with cold water. Cover the pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil then immediately turn off the burner and remove from the heat.

Leave them, covered, for 15 minutes. Then run them under cold water or place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This method will result in perfectly hard boiled eggs every single time friends.
