Halloween Bites #1: Ham and Cheese Spiders

For the next 5 days I will be giving you Halloween Culinary Treats Suggestions!! Kids really love eating these creepy spider-shaped sammies. It's worth the effort to put them together.
(makes 5 sandwiches)

1 cup chopped fully cooked ham
2 T. finely chopped sweet* onion
2 T. Kerrygold* butter, softened
1&1/2 t. prepared mustard
2 tubes (6 oz. each) small refrigerated flaky biscuits (5 count), divided
1 tube (11 oz.) refrigerated breadsticks
Coconut* oil cooking spray
Foil
5 slices medium* cheddar* cheese
1 large egg yolk
1 t. water
10 ripe olive slices (about 2 T.)
1 T. diced pimientos
1 t. poppy seeds

Preheat oven to 350. Using small pieces of foil, make 40 1/2" foil balls for shaping spider legs; coat lightly with cooking spray. For the filling: Mix the first four ingredients. On a greased baking sheets, pat five biscuits into 3&1/2" circles. For the spider legs cut each of 10 breadsticks crosswise in half; cut each piece lengthwise in half (reserve remaining breadsticks for another use). Attach eight legs to each biscuit, twisting and pressing onto pan to adhere. Tuck a foil ball under the center of each leg to give it a curve. Spoon filling over biscuits. Fold cheese slices into quarters; place over top. Pat remaining biscuits into 4" circles; place over cheese, pressing edges to steal. Whisk together egg yolk and water; brush over tops. Attach olives for eyes; fill centers with pimientos. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake sandwiches until golden brown, 15-20 min. Serve warm.

Have fun and Happy Friday!!!!!
