Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer), until soft and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully combined.
In a separate large bowl, Seive the Flour, baking soda and salt for 2 times.
Add the wet ingredients mixture into this dry ingredients large bowl slowly, continuously mixing using your mixer and make a soft dough. Roll the dough into 1 to 2-inch balls.
Coat evenly the balls with the granulated white sugar and place 2 inches apart on an un-greased, parchment-lined baking sheet.
Gently give a small press on each balls with your four fingers (do not make it flat). Bake for 10-12 minutes or as soon as tops begin to slightly cracks. To keep them soft and chewy, be careful to not overbake. Let it cool.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, knead it well and then when it cools down put it a tiny piping bag.
Cut the Maltesers into half and place each half on top of each cookies gluing with the melted chocolate. Squeeze out the chocolate from the piping bag to draw the legs of the spider. Stick the candy eye on each
Place it in refrigerator for 15 - 20 minutes to allow legs to set.
