Looking for a fun, festive treat to make this Halloween season? These Spider Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect combo of sweet, spooky, and super simple to make! Whether you’re whipping these up for a Halloween party, a weekend breakfast with the kids, or even an after-school snack, these little creepy-crawly treats will be a huge hit. Let’s dive into how you can turn ordinary cinnamon rolls into spidery delights with just a few easy steps!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Cinnamon Rolls (grab your favorite brand of pre-made rolls)
- Black Frosting
- Orange Frosting
- Pretzel Sticks (for spider legs)
- Candy Eyes (because every spider needs to see, right?)
How to Make Spider Cinnamon Rolls:
- Bake the Cinnamon Rolls
Follow the baking instructions on the package of cinnamon rolls. While they bake, gather your other supplies because things are about to get spooky!
- Let the Spooky Fun Begin!
Once the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, let them cool for just a few minutes. Then it’s time to ice them. Use the black and orange frosting to cover the cinnamon rolls – this will be the spider’s body.
- Add the Eyes
Before the frosting sets, press on the candy eyes. Feel free to get creative here! You can add two eyes for a classic look, or go wild and give your spider as many eyes as you like. After all, some spiders have eight! - Create the Legs
Gently press 4 pretzel sticks into each side of each roll to create legs. Each spider needs eight legs (of course!), but you can always add more or less if you’re feeling extra creative.
Serve and Enjoy!
These Spider Cinnamon Rolls are sure to bring smiles (and maybe a few playful screams!) when you serve them. They’re perfect for Halloween parties, classroom snacks, or even just a fun family breakfast on a crisp fall morning. Pair them with some hot apple cider or pumpkin-spiced coffee, and you’ve got a complete seasonal treat.
