I made a huge mistake!
When my kids asked what was for snack earlier today I proudly announced — Spider Eggs.
What response was I expecting from them other than…
Gross!
And really, can you blame them?
What I failed to mention (at least at first) was that I wasn’t serving the eggs from an actual spider — I just wanted to make them a fun Halloween snack.
Besides being so incredibly simple to make, this is the perfect afterschool or weekend treat or a complement to a super spooktacular school lunch.
Happy Halloween!!!
