On half of your circular bread pieces, generously spread peanut butter, ensuring a thick layer.
Carefully place the peanut butter-covered slices on top of the jelly-spread slices to form complete sandwiches.
Insert three pretzel sticks on each side of the sandwich, positioning them like spider legs.
Top each sandwich with two candy eyes, pressing them gently into the bread.
