Method

step 1
Slice each date (8) in half lengthways and remove the stones. Fill each date half with 1 tsp peanut butter (16 tsp).
step 2
Break the chocolate-covered pretzels (1 bag) in half, then carefully remove the centre section so that you're left with curved pieces (don’t worry if some of them break – you can use these for the back legs).
step 3
Break up the remaining pretzels. Press four pretzel pieces into each side of the dates to create spider legs.
step 4
Add two currants (1 handful) to each date to make the eyes. Transfer to the fridge and chill for 15 minutes, or until you're ready to serve.
