Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup melting chocolate or candy melts (assorted colors)
- 1/2 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles
- Optional: candy eyes, white chocolate for drizzle, coconut oil (for thinning chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare your work surface with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Melt the chocolate or candy melts in a tall glass using a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth. Add a small amount of coconut oil if needed for a thinner consistency.
- Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off.
- Immediately decorate with sprinkles, candy eyes, or drizzle with contrasting melted chocolate.
- Lay the rods on the parchment paper to set. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes or let them air dry for 30 minutes.
- Once fully set, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Use thicker pretzel rods to prevent breakage during dipping.
- Add coconut oil or shortening to thin out overly thick chocolate.
- Decorate while chocolate is still wet for best results.
- Store in a cool, dry place to keep them crisp and fresh.
