- 50g oats

- 20g runny honey
- 12 pretzel sticks, broken in half

- A sprinkle of desiccated coconut
- Black icing pen or chocolate sauce to decorate plate
- Mixing bowl

- Weighing scales
- Chopping board
Method
Common allergens - Peanuts (Nuts)
Will make 3 spider power balls
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the oats, the sunflower seeds, the peanut butter, raisins and chocolate chips and the honey. Mix well with a wooden spoon until all the dry ingredients are covered in the sticky honey.
Next using very clean hands, roll the mix into 3 balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. This will be very sticky and fun! These 3 balls will make the bodies of the spiders.
If you want to make hairy spiders, pour the desiccated coconut onto a clean chopping board and roll each ball in it. The desiccated coconut will stick to the honey.
Now you need to give your spiders some legs. Gently twist 4 of the pretzel sticks into each side of the ball, until each spider has 8 legs.
If you want to add eyes to your spiders, use a tiny bit of honey as glue and stick on either chocolate chips or icing eyes. Then you can finish off our spidery power balls by drawing a spider鈥檚 web on your plate with chocolate sauce.
