For the Cucumber Spiders:
Trim both ends of the cucumber prior to cutting into 1 inch pieces. Hollow out the inside of the cucumber with a small spoon, making sure to leave the walls intact.
Cut the string cheese into thirds prior to creating 8 pieces of cheese for the spider legs.
Fill the hollowed cucumber pieces with cream cheese. Arrange four pieces of string cheese together, and gently slide into one side of the cucumber. Repeat this process for the other side then fan the cheese pieces outward creating 8 spider legs.
Place two black beans on the cucumber piece creating eyes. Arrange the spiders on a serving platter and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
For the Witch’s Broomsticks:
Cut each string cheese into thirds. Cut or pull vertical strips to make the bristles, leaving the top portion of each piece of string cheese intact.
Poke a small hole on the top of the intact portion of the cheese prior to inserting the pretzel stick. Wrap a fresh chive around the top of the cheese, and tie into a small knot.
Arrange the broomsticks on a platter with a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.
