Halloween Ham 'n' Cheese Spiders

web posted October 1, 2006

Ingredients:

1 tube (12 ozs.) refrigerated flakey buttermilk biscuits. Separated into 10 biscuits
1 tube (11 ozs.) refrigerated breadsticks. Separated into 12 breadsticks
1 cup chopped fully cooked ham
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
2 tbsp. butter, softened
1-1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
5 slices American cheese
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 tsp. water
Sliced green olives/w pimientos
1 tbsp. poppy seed

On two greased baking sheets, pat five biscuits into 3-1/2 inch circles. Cut one breadstick in half, lengthwise, then in half widthwise, creating four strips. Repeat nine times. ( Save remaining three breadsticks for another use. Position eight strips of dough around each biscuit to resemble spider legs. Twist and press lightly onto baking sheet. Tuck a 1/2 inch foil ball under middle of dough strips so they stand up in center. Combine ham, onion, butter and mustard. Spoon 3 tbsp. onto each biscuit circle. Fold cheese slices into quarters and place over ham mixture. Pat remaining biscuits into 4 inch circles.. Place over filling and pinch edges completely, to seal. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and water. Brush over tops of biscuits and breadsticks. On each spider, position two olive slices, with pimiento, for eyes. Sprinkle each with poppy seeds. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 mins. or until golden brown. Good Halloween party snacks for adults and kids.
