Description

Create a spooky and delicious treat perfect for Halloween with these Spider Web Pretzels. Crunchy pretzel sticks form the base of each web, held together by swirls of melted chocolate, decorated with festive Halloween sprinkles or candy eyes. These easy-to-make snacks combine sweet and salty flavors and are great for parties or seasonal snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 32 pretzel sticks

Chocolate

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil (divided)

Optional Decorations

  • Halloween-colored sprinkles
  • Candy eyes
  • Small candy spiders

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In two separate bowls, combine the mini chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, and the white chocolate chips with the remaining 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave each bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Prepare the Pretzel Webs: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. For each spider web, arrange 8 pretzel sticks in a circle with one end of each stick meeting precisely at the center, creating the outline of a spider web.
  3. Create the Chocolate Web: Transfer each melted chocolate mixture into separate ziplock bags and snip off a small corner to use as piping bags. Starting from the center where the pretzels meet, pipe the melted chocolate in a continuous spiral moving outward to the edges. Make sure to apply enough chocolate to hold all pretzel sticks firmly together.
  4. Add the Web Design: Use a toothpick to draw lines gently from the center outward through the chocolate spiral. This technique creates a classic web-like pattern as it pulls and shapes the chocolate.
  5. Decorate: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles, place candy eyes, or add small candy spiders on top to enhance the spooky look of your pretzel webs.
  6. Set the Webs: Place the baking sheet with the decorated pretzel webs in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely to secure the pretzels in place.
  7. Enjoy: Once set, your spooky spider web pretzels are ready to serve. Perfect for Halloween parties or as festive snacks to celebrate the season!

Notes

  • Ensure the pretzels are tightly arranged and properly glued with melted chocolate for stability.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • The freezer speeds up the setting process but you can also let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes.
  • For a dairy-free option, verify that the chocolate chips used are vegan-friendly.
  • Use a toothpick carefully when dragging the chocolate to avoid breaking the pretzels.
