As much as we love fun ideas like this, we also don’t have the time or the inclination to make these too complicated. We love seeing those amazing Bento lunch ideas, but for some of them, whew! They’re just too much for our busy lives.

That’s where ideas like these Spider Uncrustables come in. You can use the ready-made kind from the store if you want to save even more time and effort. From there, it’s just a quick and easy assembly – you could even give the supplies to the kids and let them do it themselves.

If you don’t want to buy the Uncrustables – or you live in a country where they’re unavailable (sigh, like here in Canada) – we’ve included instructions for making your own.

Make up a batch or two and throw them in the freezer. Not just for this recipe, you’ll have these sandwiches on hand for quick and easy lunches and snacks anytime.

Ingredients
  

  • 16 slices bread
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup grape jelly
  • 24 candy eyes
  • 64 pretzel sticks

Instructions
 

  • Either use ready-made Uncrustables or make your own. It’s as simple as making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You just want to be sure to keep the filling away from the edges.
  • For Uncrustables, you will be removing the crusts and then sealing around the edges of the sandwiches. You can buy combination sandwich cutters/sealers on Amazon so if you’re using one of those, keep the size of it in mind when adding the fillings to your sandwiches.
  • What if you don’t have one of those handy gadgets? I’ve had good luck with using a plain round cookie cutter. As you press it into the sandwiches, it often partially seals the bread together on its own. I then use a fork and go around as you would with a pie crust to give it a really good seal. I’ve heard of other people using those ravioli tools successfully for this too.
  • Now, stick pretzel sticks into the sides of each Uncrustables sandwich, making spider legs.
  • Using peanut butter as glue, place the candy eyes onto the sandwich.
  • Serve & enjoy. 

Notes

We like grape jelly here, but you can use whatever kind of jam or jelly you prefer. If you are sending this to school or serving to someone with a peanut allergy, you can substitute Wow butter for the peanut butter.
