How to Pipe the Spiders

Using the piping bag. You can alternate and change up the colors. This is so much fun for kids to do.

Start with the center body of the spider in one color, then add 8 legs in another, and eyes with the same color as the legs. Of course you can change up the colors as you’d like!

The kids thought these brownie bites were (not so) spooky good.
