We recommend using  [Georgia Grinders Creamy Peanut Butter](https://georgiagrinders.com/collections/peanut-butter)which has no added sugars, oils, preservatives, etc. Just made with Georgia grown peanuts and a dash of sea salt 🥜 2. [Joolies Medjool Date Syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup) - The only *natural *sweetener needed. Plus, you still [maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date](https://blog.joolies.com/6-health-benefits-of-dates) in the syrup form!  3. **Almond Flour** - This acts as a great thickener which will give us that perfect cookie dough texture! You can substitute with coconut flour if needed. 4. [Joolies Dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-pack-of-two-whole-12oz-bags) - You can't stuff a date without a date! We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit😉 5. **Dark Chocolate Chips**  - We recommend using a dark chocolate without fillers or artificial sweeteners (it takes longer to melt and isn't great for your body either) like [Hu Kitchen](https://hukitchen.com/), [Eating Evolved](https://eatingevolved.com/), or [SoChatti](https://sochatti.com/).  6. **Pretzel Sticks** - This is what we'll use to make the "legs" of the spider! A great gluten-free pretzel option are [Quinn Snacks](https://www.quinnsnacks.com/snacks/pretzels/classic-sea-salt/)! 7. **Sea Salt + Vanilla** - These will help compliment the other flavors!
