How to Make Spooky and Sweet Halloween Pretzels

Ingredients:

Pretzel rods or mini twist pretzels
White chocolate chips or white candy melts
Candy eyeballs
Mini chocolate chips (optional for eyes)
Dark chocolate or black icing (for spiders or cobwebs)

Directions:

Start by microwaving the white chocolate or candy melts in 20–30 second intervals. Stir the chocolate until it is smooth.
Dip the pretzel rods or twists into the melted chocolate, making sure to tap off any excess chocolate.
Place the dipped pretzels on a piece of parchment paper. While the chocolate is still soft, press candy eyes into the coating.
Use a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner cut off to pipe extra melted chocolate in zigzags over the pretzels. This will look like mummy wraps.
Let the pretzels cool at room temperature, or you can put them in the fridge for 10 minutes until firm.
Once cool, arrange them on platters or package them in treat bags for parties and gifts.
