Today, in preparation for Halloween, I'm sharing an awesome collection of over 15 spider themed food ideas that are perfect for snacks, treats, fun meals or Halloween party food!
There's no doubt that Halloween provides endless inspiration for fun food. There are so many themes you can use - ghosts, pumpkins, witches, Frankenstein, monsters, bats, vampires, mummies.... and of course SPIDERS! I've got to admit, despite being a full grown adult, I still shudder when I come stumble across an 8 legged creature over a certain size, but love them or loathe them, they make a brilliantly creepy theme for fun food!
I asked some of my blogging friends whether they had any fun spider food ideas to share, and I wasn't disappointed, I know some seriously talented bloggers who have made some fantastic 8 legged edible creations! If you're terrified of spiders, now might be the time to run for the hills, but if you think you're brave enough, read on!
