Experimental Cooking

Jacob is always begging me to experiment in the kitchen.  I don't always want to let him do this, since he has no idea how to make desserts and what ingredients are involved to make them.  He normally just wants to take everything that tastes good and throw it all together, because that should taste good too, right?

I did steer him down this path a little by saying that powdered sugar and peanut butter combined can make a kind of "dough."  So here is his latest creation, his spider.  In the middle of this peanut butter dough ball is a chocolate covered almond, the m&m's are the eyes, with red vine legs.  To help offset the excess of peanut butter flavor he added chocolate chip studs around the spiders body.  Needless to say, it wasn't too bad.
