These Spider Crackers with Cream Cheese & Olives are the perfect no-bake Halloween snack—quick to assemble, fun to serve, and kid-approved. With crunchy crackers, creamy filling, and creepy olive legs, these spooky bites are ideal for classroom parties, themed lunches, or Halloween movie nights.
I first made these for my kids’ October snack table. I wanted something festive but not sugary, and these came together in under 10 minutes. Cream cheese adds a smooth, rich base while olives make the perfect spider legs and eyes. You can even swap in nut-free spreads or use pretzels if olives aren’t a hit in your house.
They’re completely customizable and require no cooking—just assemble and serve. Even picky eaters get a kick out of the creepy-crawly look. Serve them on a tray with baby carrots, celery sticks, or other Halloween bites for a fun and balanced party platter.
Whether you’re a busy parent or hosting a haunted hangout, these spider crackers are a crunchy, creepy, and creative way to celebrate the spooky season.
