Idea from I Heart Natptime; cookie recipe from Smitten Kitchen
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups (450 grams) smooth peanut butter (a 16.3-ounce jar of Skippy is perfect)
Peanut butter cups (Reese's), unwrapped
Candy eyes (white or red)
Nutella
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla extract, then the peanut butter until smooth and completely incorporated; you shouldn’t be able to see any ribbons of peanut butter.
3. You can chill the dough here for 15 minutes in the freezer to get better-formed cookies (or the fridge for 30), or you can bake them right away. Scoop the dough into balls using a cookie scoop. Place on prepared pan.
4. Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. When finished, cookies should be golden at edges. They’ll need to set on the sheet for a minute or two before they can be lifted intact to a cooling sheet.

5. A few minutes after they come out of the oven, set an unwrapped Reeses into the middle of each cookie, upside-down. Place eyes into the Reeses; it will melt slightly so you can stick them on. After the cookies cool completely, use a small ziplock bag with a tiny corner snipped off and spoon some nutella into the bag. Pipe 4 spider "legs" on each side of the spider body (the Reese candy).
