How to Make Sticky Spider Web Halloween Snacks

Pull apart the cotton candy and place a small handful into a clear sandwich bag.

Gently shape it so it looks wispy and web-like inside the bag.

Add a small plastic spider on top of (or tucked into) the cotton candy web.

Gather the top of the bag and seal it with a twist tie or festive ribbon.

Repeat for as many spider web snacks as you need!

Variations

Variations to Try

Expert Tips

• Assemble close to serving time: Cotton candy melts when exposed to air, so make these the day of your party for best results.
• Avoid moisture: Store in a cool, dry place to keep the cotton candy fluffy.
• Use food-safe spiders: If serving to young children, use clean, food-safe plastic decorations and supervise while eating.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can assemble the bags a few hours before serving, but avoid sealing them too early—cotton candy absorbs moisture quickly.

Q: Where can I find the supplies?
A: You can find cotton candy at most grocery stores or online, and plastic spiders are available at dollar stores or the party section of big-box stores.
