While you could simply toss Tootsie Pops into the kids’ Halloween trick-or-treat bags when they come to your door, why not elevate the experience with something extra special? Don’t you want to be the house that every kid is eager to visit? Or do you prefer to turn off all the lights and hide away with a bottle of wine (trust me, I’ve been tempted to do that myself)? These Spooky Spider Lollipops are easy Halloween treats you can make at home to impress your little ghouls and goblins!
Halloween Treat Ideas
These spiders are not just Halloween treats; they double as decorations! Arrange them as if they’re “walking” around a centerpiece or group them on end tables throughout your home. You can also place a handful in a bowl or set one on each place setting or napkin for your spooky dinner party.
Materials
Tootsie Roll Pops; Wiggle Eyes; Black Pipe Cleaners; Hot Glue Gun; Scissors.
Directions
- Prepare the Pipe Cleaners: Take two pipe cleaners and cut them in half. Arrange the four pieces in the center of a flat surface, aligning the edges.
- Attach the Lollipop: Position a lollipop about ⅓ of the way in from the edge of the aligned pipe cleaners. Gather the longer sides of the pipe cleaners together and wrap them around the lollipop stick, ensuring they are securely attached. Spread the ends apart to create the shape of a spider, and then bend each end down at a 90-degree angle to form the legs.
- Add the Eyes: Use a hot glue gun to attach two wiggle eyes to the lollipop, completing your spooky spider lollipop treats!
