Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Bread: Start by placing the 8 slices of bread on a clean cutting board. Using a biscuit cutter, press down firmly to cut out the center of each slice, creating circular holes.
  2. Spread the Peanut Butter: Take four of the bread slices and spread a generous layer of peanut butter evenly across the surface using a butter knife. Ensure complete coverage.
  3. Add the Jelly: Spread a thick layer of strawberry jelly on the remaining four bread slices, complementing the peanut butter beautifully.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Carefully place a jelly-covered slice on top of a peanut butter-covered slice, pressing down gently to combine.
  5. Create Spider Legs: Insert 3 pretzel sticks into each side of the sandwich to form spider legs. Press them in until they feel secure.
  6. Add the Candy Eyes: Place 2 candy eyes on top of each sandwich near the center to bring them to life!
