How to make a peanut butter sandwich into a spider

Using a biscuit cutter, or a 3-inch circle cookie cutter, cut a circle out of each slice of bread.

Spread the peanut butter on one side of the bread, and press 4 pretzel rod “legs” into each side of the peanut butter-covered bread.

Top it with the other piece of circular bread.

Make two small dots of peanut butter on the top of the sandwich to adhere the chocolate chip “eyes” to the spider.
