What do you need for Spider Nachos Spread?
You require the following ingredients to prepare this Easy Halloween Nachos Dip Recipe. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
Ingredients Spider Bread Bowl
- Bread dough (or savory dough): Use bread dough or savory pie dough for the spider. You can buy it ready-made in sheets or make it yourself.
- Cheese: Use a cheese, like Gouda, for a lot of flavor.
- Sesame seeds: This seed has a nutty flavor. You can get it in different colors, like black and green.
- Egg: Brush the dough, giving it a brown and shiny color after baking.
Ingredients Homemade Taco Sauce
- Olive oil: use an extra virgin olive oil with a fruity flavor.
- Onion: has a slightly sweet, slightly sharp taste
- Sweet point pepper: The pointed pepper has a particularly sweet taste. This vegetable has a somewhat thinner skin compared to a regular bell pepper.
- Ground coriander, cumin, and oregano: To flavor the taco sauce.
- Sugar: A bit of sugar will enhance the flavor of this sauce and will sweeten it.
- Diced tomatoes: For the tasty taco sauce. Use canned tomatoes because they have the optimal taste. You could use strained tomatoes (or passata), which is unnecessary because the tomatoes stew long enough and fall apart.
- Garlic: Gives extra flavor to the taco sauce.

- Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) until golden brown and done. After 15 minutes, cover the legs with aluminum foil (otherwise, they will burn). Hollow the spider's body and put the taco sauce in the hole. Garnish with green sesame seeds.
How to prepare the Homemade Taco sauce
