Spooky Raisin Spiders GIVEAWAY!!!

by

raisin.spiders4Look at the spooky raisin spiders I made with the sweet, lovely box full o’ goodies that I received today from the sweet, lovely people at California Raisins. My box had everything I needed to make these yummy, creepy spiders. And I felt no guilt eating half of the batter, because they are healthy, made with almond butter, rice cereal and, of course, raisins. Find the how-tos to make raisin spiders HERE. As my 2-year old recently discovered a love of raisins, they are a treat I’ll happily let her have.

Now, for the giveaway!!! Simply leave a comment to this post before midnight EST this Thursday, October 22, and a randomly drawn winner will get their own box full of goodies from California Raisins, including everything you need to make spooky raisin spiders as well as some surprise goodies. Be sure to have a valid email address linked to your comment so I can contact you for shipping information if you win. (U.S. addresses only, please!) And for more ideas, visit the California Raisins blog HERE.

  4. So creepy-cute!
    After Halloween, you could make the same treat only lose the legs and roll them in coconut and powdered sugar for a yummy snowball!

  7. My daughter is deathly afraid of spiders. But I think she would be able to gobble these up without any problem. And I think I would be able to help her! 😉

  15. Those are so fun and cute. Even if I don’t win (sniff, sniff) I think I’m going to make them for an upcoming fundraiser/Halloween party at our local animal shelter.
    Thank you for sharing the idea!

  17. I love how cute the spiders are! I’d have to give them to someone, though, because I don’t like raisins. But I’ve got plenty of family, neighbors & a friend who is currently in labor that do. 🙂

  19. those look so good. I think I’ll do these for matties slumber party. thanks for the recipe.

  21. Yum! I make something like these but with natural PB. I never thought to put raisins in them. I also like the idea of making them into spiders. I will have to give that a try. Thanks for the idea.

  24. Where does a person buy thin licorice strips? I’ve looked all over: Wallgreens, Target, Kroger, Tom Thumb. Twizlers has a pull-apart version, but only in red flavors. Help.

  25. Just to answer Leslie (don’t worry, I’ll take my comment out of the running!), the licorice CA raisins sent me was “Haribo Licorice Wheels”. You can see them if you search for them on amazon.com. You peel apart the licorice to make the legs. But I would also search for “black licorice lace” online. I bet most candy stores will have it, too, a place that only sells candy. Do you have a major mall near you? Most malls have at least one candy store. I’ve also had trouble at those chain places finding anything but red licorice. The wheels might be more available though.

  29. 😀 I am definitely planning on making these for the Halloween party I’m hosting. Cute and healthy!

  31. Meaghan, thank you! I’ve seen those Harbio wheels! I know I can get them! You’re a doll.

  32. I adore the candy corn background, I think I would use them as flies and pipe a spiderweb backing.
